Last Updated: 01/11/2025

1. Our Core Belief: Innovation Thrives on Diversity

At Aistn Technologies, we believe that true innovation in artificial intelligence is not just a technical challenge—it is a human one. We cannot build intelligent systems that serve a global and diverse humanity without a team that reflects that diversity. Our commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Action (IDEA) is the bedrock of our mission to create responsible and transformative technology.

Our Definitions:

  • Inclusion: Fostering a culture where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.
  • Diversity: Embracing the full spectrum of human difference, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, neurodiversity, veteran status, and religion.
  • Equity: Actively ensuring fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while identifying and eliminating barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups.
  • Action: The measurable steps we take to turn our principles into reality.

2. Our Commitment in Practice

Our commitment to IDEA is embedded in everything we do:

A. In Our Workplace & Culture:

  • Unbiased Hiring: We implement structured, inclusive hiring practices, including diverse interview panels, standardized questions, and training to mitigate unconscious bias.
  • Equitable Growth: We provide clear pathways for career advancement, mentorship programs, and sponsorship opportunities for underrepresented groups.
  • Inclusive Environment: We foster psychological safety where all employees are encouraged to speak up, challenge assumptions, and be their authentic selves. We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and harassment.
  • Benefits & Flexibility: We offer benefits and work arrangements that support a diverse workforce, including inclusive parental leave and flexible work policies.

B. In Our Technology & Products:

  • Mitigating Bias in AI: We are committed to the rigorous auditing of our datasets and AI models to identify and mitigate harmful biases. This is a core part of our AI development lifecycle.
  • Ethical AI Development: Our teams are trained in ethical AI principles, focusing on fairness, transparency, and accountability.
  • Building for Everyone: We strive to create products that are accessible and usable by people with diverse abilities and backgrounds, following universal design principles.

C. In Our Community & Partnerships:

  • Pipeline Development: We partner with organizations and educational institutions that support underrepresented groups in STEM fields.
  • Inclusive Procurement: We seek to diversify our supplier base by engaging with businesses owned by underrepresented groups.

3. Our Pledge of Accountability

We hold ourselves accountable through:

  • Transparent Reporting: We will regularly track and share (internally and externally) our progress on key diversity metrics across our workforce.
  • Leadership Responsibility: IDEA goals are integrated into our company-wide and leadership-level objectives.
  • Employee-Led Councils: We support and fund employee resource groups (ERGs) that provide community, support, and counsel to our leadership.
  • Continuous Learning: We provide mandatory and ongoing training for all employees on topics like unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, and ethical AI.

4. An Ongoing Journey

We recognize that building a truly inclusive and equitable company is an ongoing process, not a destination. We are committed to listening, learning, and evolving our practices. We welcome feedback from our employees, customers, and partners on how we can better live up to these ideals.
