🟦Lunch N Learn: Unmasking the Hidden Biases in Tech: Optimizing Hardware and Software Development & Deployment

Description

We tend to think that the development and deployment of technology is objective, cold, and dispassionate. But it is not! Technology is built by humans. And all humans are biased. So, bias both impacts the way we build technology AND is built into our technology. This has been proven by research performed by organizations such as the World Economic Forum, MIT, and others.  

In this eye-opening workshop, we'll explore the often-overlooked biases that can significantly impact the development and deployment of hardware and software technologies. Participants will gain a deep understanding of cognitive, social attribution, and perception biases that unconsciously impact the tech industry. Through interactive exercises and case studies, attendees will develop practical skills to recognize and address biases in their own work. This workshop is essential for CTOs, product managers, developers, and anyone involved in creating or implementing technology solutions. 

By the end of this session, you will be able to: 

• Identify common biases such as algorithmic bias, sampling bias, and sunken cost fallacy 
• Understand how these biases can lead to inefficient development and outcomes that are not optimal 
• Identify strategies to mitigate biases in the development process, algorithm design, and user interface development

Join us to learn how to optimize development and deployment so that your company thrives and your users are excited.
