Coded Bias Screening + Future of Fair Tech in the Workplace

A hybrid screening and discussion that uses Coded Bias to explore fair, future-ready AI and its impact on workplace inclusion.

Overview: The event brings together leaders, innovators, students, and community members to watch Coded Bias. This documentary exposes how algorithms can mirror and amplify human bias, shaping access, opportunity, and visibility in society. Though released in 2021, its core message remains critical today as AI influences hiring, promotion, performance insights, workplace culture, and inclusion across the Middle East and emerging markets.

Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of how technology affects fairness, who is responsible for ethical AI, and how organisations can design better systems for people and performance. The discussion will focus on practical insights for leaders and teams navigating a rapidly evolving digital workplace where inclusion, strategy, and innovation must coexist.

Key Takeaways:

1. Bias in technology is a systems issue, not a data issue.
2. Ethical AI is a leadership priority, not a technical afterthought.
3. Inclusive workplaces require intentional design, governance, and diverse voices shaping the rules.
4. AI should accelerate opportunity, not narrow who gets seen, heard, or advanced.
