In this episode of Wired for Change, host Amy Yee sits down with Kelly Geyer, a global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) leader and change management expert, to explore one of the most urgent issues in tech today: AI bias.
As artificial intelligence reshapes industries from healthcare to HR, the risks of reinforcing discrimination through biased data and poorly designed systems are growing. But the good news? We can do something about it — if we start now.
🔍 In this episode, we cover:
The real-world risks of biased AI (including a powerful story you won’t forget)
How organizations can build inclusivity into AI from the ground up
Why DEI isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a foundation for sustainable transformation
The roles everyone (yes, everyone) plays in responsible AI adoption
Tools, frameworks, and international efforts that are shaping the future
💡 “If diversity and inclusion aren’t part of your culture, they won’t show up in your AI.” – Kelly Geyer
Whether you're leading digital change, selecting AI tools, or just trying to understand how AI decisions are impacting you and your community — this episode is for you.
