Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Implement Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) into Marketing Materials: The ‘CONSIDER’ Framework

Abstract

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in marketing– defined as the composition of an organisation’s marketing reflects diverse, equitable representation of its consumer base, especially with respect to the use of inclusive, bias-free imagery, language and messaging among underrepresented, underserved and marginalised consumer segments – has led to the advancement of AI-enabled technologies to aid marketers improve the DEI of their marketing materials. To ensure DEI marketing strategies are fully considered and that the use of AI is implemented effectively, we suggest marketers to utilise our CONSIDER framework (comprehend current state, operationalise with openness, nurture dynamic relevance, set standards, involve stakeholders, diversify data, elevate literacy and regular monitoring). We then highlight the pros and cons for using AI to implement DEI into marketing materials and provide several AI-enabled metrics (accessibility, allyship, cultural sensitivity, diversity, gender parity, inclusivity intersectionality and representation) that offer a more objective and quantitative approach for marketers to assess how well they are meeting their DEI goals and identifying gaps in representation to make changes to improve the DEI of their marketing materials.
