Abstract
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not just a trend but a cornerstone of modern business success. With the current anti-DEI sentiment in the USA, there has been more conversation about jettisoning the efforts than the positive impact of such initiatives. I will share my lessons from my journey as an AI expert from academia to Industry – and what DEI initiatives can achieve in shaping impactful AI solutions.
