Artificial intelligence and unconscious biases: a leadership task? (Podcast in German)

Artificial intelligence has long been a part of our everyday
lives – but is it truly neutral? In this episode we explore
biases in AI: unconscious prejudices embedded in data and
algorithms that can perpetuate social stereotypes. What steps can
leaders take to promote the responsible use of this technology?


Our guest is Dr. Alina Gales, Head of the Diversity &
Inclusion Office at the Technical University of Munich and an
expert on the intersections of technology, gender, privilege, and
discrimination. She explains how biases emerge, provides
practical examples and highlights the factors that leaders should
consider in order to use AI fairly and responsibly. This episode
is for anyone seeking to better understand the impact of
technology on leadership, organizations, and society – and to
gain inspiration for a more conscious approach to AI.


Dr. Alina Gales works at the intersections of gender &
diversity as well as privilege & discrimination in relation
to technology. At the Technical University of Munich, she leads
the Office of Diversity & Inclusion, developing strategic
initiatives to make the university a more diverse and inclusive
institution and employer. Furthermore, she focuses on themutual
influence of technology, society, and gender. More specifically,
she discusses privilege and discrimination in the context of
artificial intelligence. She shares her expertise through
lectures, presentations, workshops, seminars, panel discussions,
and interviews.
