“Together, we are extraordinary,” is the foundation of the Tableau community which makes our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion more important than ever before. The Data + Diversity series provides a platform for community conversations surrounding the challenges and solutions to diversity in data. This includes, but definitely is not limited to, conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and actions we can take to create positive change. We’ll highlight voices sharing actionable ways to use data for greater inclusion, and provide much-needed inspiration for active change.
With the rise of AI and data in almost every industry comes the potential dangers and shortcomings of products that are being released in the real world. During this talk we will go behind the scenes to explore why the systems and designs fail in some applications and steps we can take collectively while working on these systems. We will discuss the current state of technology and share anecdotes as we embark on a new frontier for technology.
