Algorithmic Bias | Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters
01/10/2026 - From 19h30 - Public
In May 2025, during a career strategy workshop here at The Nine, a participant asked hosts Dorothy Dalton and Robert Baker a simple question: "Are LinkedIn's algorithms biased against women?"
That question sent us digging. What we found doesn't stop at one platform - it applies to the algorithms now shaping careers everywhere, and not just for women.
Algorithms aren't neutral back-office tools anymore. They decide who gets hired, promoted, keeps their job, gets heard - and who becomes a target of algorithmic rage-baiting or AI-driven abuse.
What you'll get from attending:
- A clear picture of how algorithmic bias actually works - not just that it exists, but the mechanics behind it
- The specific findings from our investigation, starting with LinkedIn and extending to hiring and promotion tools more broadly
- Practical ways to protect your visibility and reputation in algorithm-driven spaces
- A sharper lens for spotting where human bias gets replicated at scale and speed - before it costs you!
If you're navigating a career, a team, or a hiring process shaped by AI, this session gives you the tools to see the system clearly and act on it.
