As the race for AI dominance intensifies, tech giants are investing billions in research and development. However, a concerning trend has emerged: many of these same companies are slashing or eliminating their DEI departments and initiatives. This panel will explore the potential risks of biased AI algorithms arising from a lack of diversity in development teams. We'll discuss why maintaining DEI should be a strategic imperative, not a discretionary spend, for tech leaders navigating an uncertain future. 

DEI cuts + AI boom = Recipe for bias?

This session will be hosted by Kim Smouter from the European Network Against Racism.

Startup roundtables are 45-minute sessions gathering up to 15 startup attendees for an interactive and open group discussion on a specific topic relevant to a startup audience.
