AI does not create bias. It inherits it and scales it.

Ghazenfer Mansoor sat down with Dr. Swati Tyagi and she made a point about AI bias that cuts straight to the root of the problem.

"Do you think all sections of the community are represented equally on the internet? History has not represented everybody equally. If we give that data to the model, it will say there is a higher probability of a man being a scientist than a woman."

The problem is not the algorithm. The problem is what it learned from.

→ The internet reflects historical inequality

→ Underrepresented communities = underrepresented data

Models trained on that data make biased predictions → Those predictions shape real decisions hiring, healthcare, finance

This is not a technical problem. It is a representation problem. And it starts long before the model is built.

💬 How should companies address bias before training their models?

Ghazenfer Mansoor sat down with Jason Carroll, to explore one of the most underused tools in leadership today: behavioral science powered by AI.

"𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘦."

That's how Jason describes Aria Aptive Index's custom AI and it's not hyperbole.

Here's what Aria actually does for teams:

Identifies why two team members are in conflict and how to resolve it
Coaches individuals on specific performance gaps (like struggling with negotiation)
Turns behavioral assessment data into a daily strategic leadership tool not a one-time hiring filter
Delivers ROI far beyond the interview process
Ghazenfer and Jason dig into the real cost of bad hires, the limits of tools like DISC and Myers-Briggs, and why treating people as humans not headcount scaled one company from $20M to $80M.
