In today’s rapidly evolving world, the growing popularity of AI is transforming various aspects of our workplace experience. One area where AI is making a significant impact is in learning and development. AI can be a game-changer for workplace inclusion, in particular for neurodivergent employees, which make up roughly 20% of the population. AI can equalize the playing field by assisting neurodivergent employees by automating repetitive tasks, offering real-time assistance and sensory support, and personalizing work experiences for greater productivity. More this technology can also benefit non-neurodivergent employees. In this session, attendees will learn to understand the challenges faced by neurodivergent employees in the workplace, identify AI tools to address those challenges, and balance AI benefits and risks with ethical implementation.
