Diversity Panel: Allyship is a journey, not a destination
summary
A consulting engagement asks for an AI that identifies LGBTQI+ people from protest videos so a government can count and act on them; the request prompts an ethics escalation, the project is halted, and the company implements responsible AI reviews and global training before approving work. Separate organizing work builds an internal LGBTQI+ group in Poland and mobilizes about 70 employees to join a Pride parade, showing concrete advocacy and operational follow-through.
