Episode Description

The buzz: “AI and machine learning can be an objective observer to screen for bias patterns” (Kevin Mulcahy, Future Workplace). Human bias exists in HR hiring, promotions, employee opportunities and other business decisions. Can technology remove bias? Machine learning and predictive analytics can help HR scan for inherent bias, predict and minimize employee churn, and identify optimal recruiting channels. But is there a ‘dark side’ from ML’s human-created models and algorithms? The experts speak. Jeff Mills, SAP SuccessFactors: “The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones” (Chinese Proverb). Erin Roberts, SAP SuccessFactors: “Marilla, isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” (Anne of Green Gables). John Schitka, SAP: “We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future” (George Bernard Shaw). Join us for Machine Learning in HR: Uncovering and Addressing Human Bias.

Game-Changing Predictive Machine Learning, Presented by SAP

Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific Time/2 PM Eastern Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

As business rapidly evolves and constantly changes, those in the driver’s seat have tried to divine the future. Predictive Machine Learning is helping them do just that in a meaningful, impactful way by addressing key business and operational questions, driving ROI, and improving margins. Predictive Machine Learning is truly useful when predictive output is embedded within applications as native features. Line of Business demands for prescriptive insights, coupled with a scarcity of skilled data scientists, compel business people to become ‘citizen data scientists’ to drive predictive capabilities. It is time to think differently about Predictive Machine Learning and how it can transform the work experience.

Join host Bonnie D. Graham as she invites you to take an additional coffee break with game-changers in our series on how SAP is redefining the role predictive capabilities plays in business, on Game-Changing Predictive Machine Learning.
