As Artificial Intelligence increasingly drives recruitment decisions, both technical and human stakeholders play a vital role in ensuring fairness. Whether you’re designing AI systems or managing hiring processes, it’s time to rethink how technology shapes who gets hired — and who gets left out.
Join the BIAS Project’s free, hands-on session to explore how to detect and mitigate bias in recruitment algorithms, align with ethical and legal frameworks like the GDPR and AI Act, and strengthen collaboration between HR and AI teams to build inclusive and responsible hiring systems.
✅ Understand how bias manifests in AI-driven hiring — and what you can do about it
✅ Apply ethical design principles and fairness frameworks to recruitment tools
✅ Learn to evaluate and select AI systems responsibly
✅ Use tools like Value Sensitive Design to align AI outputs with human values
✅ Explore bias detection and mitigation strategies to improve equity and transparency
✅ Strengthen collaboration between HR and technical teams for shared accountability
✅ Exchange insights in a supportive, cross-disciplinary space — with lunch included
💠 Case studies of AI in recruitment: what worked, what failed, and why it matters
💠 Bias awareness and reflection: from coding choices to candidate evaluation
💠 Hands-on sessions: use tools, games, and exercises to explore fairness in practice
💠 Regulatory grounding: GDPR, AI Act, and what compliance looks like in the real world
