EP 245 AI Meets DEI - Building Inclusive Workplaces in the Age of Automation with Gabby Zuniga
Description
How do diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals evolve in a world being rapidly reshaped by AI?
In this episode, I sit down with Gabby Zuniga, founder of InclusiveKind, where she helps organizations across nonprofit and corporate sectors do DEI right through assessments, strategy, training, and policy review.
We dig into:
The ebb and flow of organizational commitment to DEI since 2020 - and why some companies stick with it while others quietly pull back.
Why DEI is not just about race or ethnicity but also about learning styles, generational diversity, and workplace equity at every level.
How AI is creating new urgency for DEI conversations - from algorithmic bias to ensuring inclusive adoption of technology.
Practical ways founders and leaders can keep DEI at the center, even as priorities shift.
Gabby’s perspective is both real and hopeful: while some organizations are stepping away, the ones that ground their DEI in values - not headlines - are leading the way.
This is an important listen if you’re navigating how to keep people and inclusion at the heart of your business while embracing AI as a growth tool.
