E42: Humanizing AI: Equity, Empathy, and Innovation
Update: 2025-08-04
Description
Tune in to this powerful episode of Ventura County Works as we explore how artificial intelligence can either widen or bridge equity gaps in the workforce. Celia Daniels, board member of the Ventura County Workforce Development Board and Founder and CEO of Rebekon Consulting LLC, shares how AI systems, if designed without inclusive input, can reinforce existing biases and shut out marginalized communities, including farmworkers, justice-impacted individuals, disabled people, and non-English speakers. You’ll discover why “bringing AI to the people” is essential, how workforce boards can play a pivotal role in shaping ethical tech, and what it takes to build AI systems that truly serve everyone.
