The Future State Of Diversity and Inclusion In Engineering
summary
Cites concrete numbers and failures and then prescribes fixes: tech companies report shockingly low representation (Google 2%; black women <3% of developers), an example product literally excludes Black users (paper towel sensor failed for Black hands), and an AI hiring tool reproduces bias (Amazon). Recommends measurable actions: publish and track diversity/retention data, attach goals to CEO accountability, invest in inclusion training, leverage allies to open pipelines, and build flexible, evidence-backed hiring and retention processes.
