A Decision Model for the Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Fostering DEI in the Workplace

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every industry because of its incredible advantages. This study demonstrates how AI technologies are becoming more widely used in the workplace and the enormous opportunities it presents for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). However, it also poses risks and difficulties that should be carefully assessed. For this study, primary data is collected using the structured interview process. 80 respondents were selected comprising managers from companies with more than 100 employees that have adopted AI in fostering DEI. This research paper presents a decision model for organizations to adopt AI effectively in a manner that supports DEI goals. The study has been conducted in the context of the Indian companies. The author has proposed a model which outlines key considerations, ethical principles, and implementation strategies, providing a comprehensive framework to guide decision-making processes. By integrating AI technology with DEI initiatives, organizations can leverage the potential of AI while minimizing bias, promoting fairness, and enhancing inclusivity in the workplace.
