Tech’s Diversity Reckoning: Advancing Education & Black Talent
Bias is often encoded in the data sets and algorithms that power machine learning, as discussed in Techquity and 10 Tech Trends for 2022. With consumers increasingly aware of digital discrimination – and its effects widespread – brands must better understand and proactively address this issue. We highlight efforts to engineer better systems.

Summary
Addressing Algorithmic Bias | Bias is often encoded in the data sets and algorithms that power machine learning, as discussed in Techquity and 10 Tech Trends for 2022. With consumers increasingly aware of digital discrimination – and its effects widespread – brands must better understand and proactively address this issue. We highlight efforts to engineer better systems. |
Tech Tools Prioritising Black Users | From camera technology to voice recognition and search tools, tech companies are addressing the white-centric perspective embedded in product design. Underscoring the commercial importance of doing so, Black Americans say they would pay up to 1.2 times more on average for products and services that better meet their needs (McKinsey, 2021). |
Tech’s Diversity Reckoning: Advancing Education & Black Talent | While the key to designing inclusive tech is more diverse tech teams, just 4% of executive leadership in large tech companies is Black (Kapor Center, 2022). Executives also overlook key issues: only 17% of tech product managers rate diversity and inclusion as top design priorities (McKinsey, 2022). Recently launched programmes chip away at these issues. |
