Leadership: Exclusively human?

Jamie Gloor

What would the world look like if socially-skilled robots stepped into the roles normally reserved for humans?

Together with Lauren Howe, David De Cremer, and Sam Yam, we explore these questions–and more–in this thought piece on how “soft skills” such as humor–often touted as exclusively human skills for future workers–may power robots’ rise into leadership roles. (See here in The European Business Review).

I’ll present at 2:40 about why soft skills such as humor are still–if not even more–important than ever, with applications to robot leadership and AI in hiring/recruitment processes.

Get your tickets here TODAY for our track and others, including keynotes from Edward Snowden.

Women in Big Data

Jamie Gloor

A great group of (mostly) computer scientists welcomed me with open arms last week for a conference on women in big data in Zurich. I met an interdisciplinary group of fellow UZH scholars Carolin Strobl (Psychology), Anne Scherer (Marketing), and Sarah Petchey (Natural Science) as well as many new faces from ETH, Europe, and beyond! I learned a lot about Artifical Intelligence (AI), algorithms, and machine learning from some of the programmers themselves; we also discussed some of the ethical and policy implications for fairness, gender equality, and more!

I left with new knowledge, ideas, contacts, and even some bling! Below is an absolutely appropriate button for the event given to me by Caitlin Kraft-Buchmann, founder and CEO of Women at the Table, who gave an inspiring, evidence-informed keynote on Affirmative Action for Algorithms.

I also gave a 90-second madness talk (in true “science slam” form: it all rhymed!) highlighting my interests in AI in hiring from the employee perspective, including key examples from practice such as Amazon and Unilever, touching on some work by my University of Basel colleague, Gwendolin Sajons (Business).
