What does fairness look like when AI is making the decisions?Artificial intelligence is changing the way we hire, develop, and lead, but who benefits when we rush to automate? In this episode, I speak with Aubrey Blanche, Director of Ethical Advisory and Strategic Partnerships at The Ethics Centre, about why AI isn’t just a tech issue, it’s a human one.We explore the messy middle of ethical leadership, the overlooked risks in how HR teams use AI, and how to ask better questions before adopting shiny tools. Aubrey brings years of experience from Atlassian and Culture Amp to help us rethink what fairness really means in the age of automation.If you want to future-proof your HR practices and lead with intention instead of hype, this episode is your prompt to pause, reflect and redesign. Because every system has a heartbeat, and it better still be human.What questions are you asking before using AI in your people practices? What would fairness look like if you designed it today?
