Abstract:

In an era marked by insecurity from neoliberalism, financial volatility, political instability, regional conflicts, pandemics, and the climate crisis, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing our work, organisations, societies, and the environment. This critical text explores who truly benefits from AI′s development and deployment, offering a comprehensive overview of AI′s nature, history, and applications. It delves into crucial themes such as the future of work, digitalisation, neoliberalism′s impact, power dynamics, ethics, inequality, gender, race, intersectional discrimination, and environmental sustainability.

The title of the presentation draws its name from a newly released book, and the editors will discuss the power of AI to Reshape HRM, AI and Leadership. They are joined by Birgit to discuss AI: Gender, Power, and Intersectional Discrimination.
