Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in Human Resource Management (HRM), offering tools that enhance recruitment efficiency, workforce planning, and employee engagement. At the same time, its influence on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives raises both opportunities and risks. When designed responsibly, AI can reduce unconscious bias, promote transparency, and support equitable career growth through blind recruitment, inclusive analytics, and accessibility technologies. However, reliance on biased datasets and opaque algorithms may reinforce systemic inequalities, as seen in cases such as Amazon’s recruitment tool and HireVue’s video assessments. This paper examines the dual role of AI in shaping inclusive workplaces, analyzes legal and ethical frameworks across jurisdictions, and proposes strategies to align AI with DEI objectives. By emphasizing fairness, accountability, and human oversight, the study highlights how organizations can leverage AI to build equitable and resilient work environments.
