Session: AI is Not Biased: Leaders Are: Rethinking Responsibility in AI
The conversation around bias in AI usually focuses on data and algorithms. But what if the real source of bias is leadership?
This talk challenges the dominant narrative by showing how decisions made by leaders what problems to solve, which data to prioritise, and whose voices are included shape AI systems long before a model is trained.
By shifting the focus from technical bias to leadership accountability, this session highlights why increasing the number of women in AI leadership is critical not just for representation, but for building better, more ethical systems.
Attendees will gain a new perspective on AI bias and leave with practical ways to influence decision-making, even without a technical background.
