Using AI to make digital communities more positive and inclusive at Areto Labs
Abstract: Work has changed for good. We’re collaborating digitally more than ever. This brings new challenges for leaders to successfully create productive, positive and inclusive workplaces. But while digital communities and online collaboration platforms present new challenges, they also present unique opportunities to build culture in ways that didn’t exist before. Machine learning can power an automated culture building program by measuring sentiment, natural language and microaggressions on an anonymized, aggregated level and provide leaders, researchers and advocates with critical and actionable insights about their digital communities and team cultures.
Bio: Lana Cuthbertson is the CEO and Founder of Areto Labs, a B2B SaaS social enterprise startup that builds technology to make digital communities more positive and inclusive. Her career has taken her from journalism to communications and marketing to product and program management, allowing her to build expertise in technology, digital communications, leadership, innovation, change and knowledge management and writing. She has worked in the technology, financial services, pharmaceuticals, post-secondary and nonprofit industries. She is a passionate advocate for gender equality. She created an A.I. based Twitter bot to encourage women in politics called @ParityBOT, which she ran during elections in Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. and published results at NeurIPS 2019 at the AI for Social Good workshop.
