Diversity, Leadership and Development Conference Room A 13:45 - 14:25

Exploring AI’s capacity to advance diversity and development

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to aid in creating more inclusive and development-oriented workplaces for energy organisations globally, helping to drive humanity’s next era of progress. With the ability to combat bias, improve accessibility, enhance decision-making and foster cultural awareness, these platforms are already being used to drive fair and transparent recruitment through blind resume screening and job description analysis. They are also facilitating near real-time reporting, enhancing forecasting and leadership insights in the process. At the same time, AI is serving to strengthen assistive technologies and product innovation, enabling inclusive design and greater accessibility. If harnessed effectively, these tools will strengthen diversity metrics in the energy sector through workforce optimisation, global outreach and metric auditing. As AI’s role in shaping equitable and inclusive workplaces continues to expand, the organisations that invest in and embrace its potential will be among the first to realise the tangible business-related benefits offered by these applications.
