DE&I and AI within sustainability
Overview
The issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) within sustainability practices, are some of the hot topics in the legal market.
To talk about this topic, with a focus on legal practice, Fernanda Stefanelo, Tatiana Sasson, Lucas Tuffi and Darius Johnson, will take part in a virtual meeting. The event will cover best practices for legal departments to take advantage of AI’s ability to process large amounts of data with speed and precision, which can contribute to sustainability and compliance reporting, as it allows for efficient data analysis and interpretation, as well as how the use of artificial intelligence can increase the protection of aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion and sustainability.
The event will be an opportunity to better understand topics such as the presence of women in leadership positions and the role of AI in promoting diversity and inclusion, as well as understanding the impact of ESG attributes and their advantages for building a diverse and inclusive work environment that is committed to sustainability.
