Join us in @UniLeiden 🇳🇱 for the BIAS Conference: Mitigating Diversity Biases of AI in the Labour Market.
📅 2–3 September 2026
📍 Leiden University, The Netherland
Across two days, researchers, policymakers, AI developers, HR professionals, and civil society organisations will come together to discuss how AI is reshaping the labour market and how we can ensure these technologies remain fair and inclusive. 🤖
Expect discussions, research insights, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities with the BIAS community. 🤝 @UniLeidenNews

Recruitment AI promises efficiency, but myths about its “objectivity” can quietly shape who even gets a chance. 🤖
The BIAS Project empowers AI developers and HR professionals to spot hidden bias, challenge assumptions, and build hiring processes that are transparent, fair, and accountable.
We are moving beyond spotting bias to actively fixing it! 🚀
Join the BIAS Final Conference: Mitigating Diversity Biases of AI in the Labour Market to explore the future of the AI-powered workforce together. 🔍 @UniLeiden

🪝 If it's not in the standard, it doesn't exist. Time to change that.
Tomorrow, the BIAS Project joins the Innovation Standardisation Workshop organised by @eloquenceai — and we're coming with something specific to say.
Represented by our partner @digiotouchai (@skdatta2010), we will be presenting our work to an audience of AI standards experts and representatives from standards development organisations (ISO/IEC SC 42, CEN/CENELEC JTC 21, NIST, ETSI).
Our focus? A gap that's still largely invisible in current AI standardisation efforts:
🔍 Bias in NLP decision systems used in recruitment and employment — not conversational AI, but the text-based tools that quietly shape who gets hired, shortlisted, or screened out.
At BIAS, we develop open-source tools and methodologies to detect and mitigate algorithmic bias in exactly these systems. Two of our most concrete outputs, the Debiaser and the multilingual NLP Demonstrator, are directly relevant to a gap no other participating project covers.
This is what cross-project standardisation work should look like: each project bringing its unique domain to the table, together building a fuller picture. 🤝
What do the Artemis Moon mission & the future of hiring have in common? ✨ Diversity ✨
Artemis features history’s most diverse crew yet! And at BIAS, we’re building inclusive AI systems that spot potential from all backgrounds.
Mitigating bias to let true talent shine. 🚀
Is AI at work a promise or a threat? 🤖👩🏻💻
New research by Silvia Ecclesia (@NTNU) shows how these opposing views shape the way HR professionals use AI every day.

Fairness at work starts with people. ✊
Past workers fought for the rights we rely on today. As AI shapes modern hiring, our duty remains: ensure fairness, dignity & equal opportunity. At BIAS, we build fair AI to continue this legacy. ❤️

Different minds see the world in different ways, and that’s a strength! 🧠✨
But AI recruitment tools can still unintentionally favour “standard” social cues, overlooking neurodivergent talent.
That’s why we do what we do, so the future is built on inclusion, not exclusion. 💙
When future historians dig through today’s recruitment algorithms, what will they uncover? ⛏️🤖 A society pushing for inclusivity and fairness, or one stuck in outdated patterns? At BIAS, we’re building the future we want to be proud of. ❤️
