On this episode of Transformation Realness, Kyle Lagunas is talking with Keith Sonderling, former commissioner at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Keith is a trailblazer in HR tech policy, and believes HR leaders are uniquely positioned to guide organizations through the responsible adoption of AI tools.
“Everyone wants to make this world so difficult to understand, where you know you’re not going to be able to keep up with it, so ignore it and just implement it,” Keith says. “Or on the flip side … it’s too complicated, so let’s just not move forward.”
Neither of these attitudes is the right approach. We can’t afford to avoid AI, but we need to assume its risks, too. And that’s exactly the thoughtful, balanced approach that Keith spearheaded during his time as EEOC commissioner. “If there’s ways to help us make employment decisions more fair, more transparent, and without bias, we should be all for that,” he says.
Keith and I cover everything from AI’s role in amplifying HR’s effectiveness to the importance of HR literacy in these new technologies. Whether you’re overwhelmed by the rapid pace of change or excited about AI’s possibilities, this conversation will leave
