I love my Leader365/Team365 License from The Global Leadership Network that gives me access to many past Global Leadership Summit talks from diverse #leadership thought leaders. Just watched Erin Meyer's talk about #OrganizationalCulture, Talent Density, and Dilemmas (over generic values). If you don't have a license and are in a leadership role, this is a must. The videos are great for your own growth, and the Team license allows you to use them with your team. https://lnkd.in/g-wqHDfp

Workday being sued with claims their AI is bias. One to watch and if it the court case is successful it could have wide reaching implications for software vendors in the Talent space. A proposed class action has been filed alleging that Workday violated federal anti-bias laws by using artificial intelligence-powered software to screen out job applicants for other employers for discriminatory reasons (age, race & disability). The court case alleges that the claimant has been rejected by over 40 jobs and all of them have been powered by Workdays software. Workday are claiming that they have no control on what their clients do with the software given how it can be configured… however the EEOC feel differently claiming that Workday can plausibly be considered an ‘agent for the employer’ and thereby a ‘employing agent’. I find myself considering the following factors: ❓- if AI is being used as the screening mechanism, what level of automated rejection and human in the loop validation is present? 🪟- how explainable and transparent is Workdays AI matching algorithm 🕶️- what level of AI auditing is in place? 😳- how much of this is actually a human rejecting the candidate with no explanation, and therefore the candidate begins to wonder if it is the software. Companies and software vendors alike may find ourselves seeing more and more of these cases coming up as it may be easier to blame the AI (the faceless entity) than the human. I am sure Workday will be rolling out plenty of lawyers to throw it out. Shout out to Dr Natalie Sheard for sharing this originally. #ai_bias #workday #ai_discrimination

Adhering to an ethical code during challenging times is a trait in many historical and present-day leaders that we’ve come to admire... but walking that ethical line is harder than it looks. Pocked sized Pep Talk sat down to discuss our new book, "The Practice of Ethical Leadership – Insights from Psychology and Business in Building an Ethical Bottom Line" In business, it takes courage, often a moral courage, to ignore the voices that attempt to justify unethical behavior, and hold the line on ethics, and Rick Swegan will tell you how to do just that!
