Through this 29-month project, QueerTech will address the needs and barriers to equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities in the tech ecosystem. QueerTech will achieve this by building awareness around 2SLGBTQI+ realities in the tech space, fostering inclusive workplaces in the tech industry, and promoting more inclusions in the use of AI products and services. For this, QueerTech will develop a comprehensive toolkit and a series of workshops designed for key industry professionals who want to create a more inclusive Canadian tech ecosystem. QueerTech will support 600 HR professionals at small, medium, and large tech companies in assessing and addressing gaps in representation among their workforce and adopting more inclusive management practices. QueerTech will also build the awareness of 400 AI product managers and developers around algorithmic biases and help them identify ways to circumvent them and build AI tools that truly include and represent 2SLGBTQI+ realities. This project will improve the workplace experience and career development of over 2,500 2SLGBTQI+ professionals and significantly limit the exposure to harmful stereotypes or inaccurate information for millions of Canadian AI users.
