Podcast: How AI & DEI Are Shaping business – A Conversation with Arthur Lawida
On the latest episode of the Retail Tech Podcast, I had a compelling discussion about AI strategy in retail and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As retail AI trends continue to evolve, it’s clear that AI and DEI strategy are not separate conversations—they are deeply interconnected.
As AI-driven transformation reshapes retail, commerce, and jobs, leaders must ensure these technologies are designed and deployed inclusively to avoid reinforcing bias and widening workforce disparities. The same principles that drive the desire for a diverse workforce and equitable leadership development in DEI must now guide AI strategy, automation, and workforce transitions.
In this podcast, I explore how AI and DEI together will define the next era of retail innovation, leadership, and opportunity.
