Disabling AI - How to Make Machines See Disabled People
Description:
Whether you are a coder, product owner or brand marketer, an estimated 20% of your audience has a disability. As we push more into common usage of AIs using models built on unknowable data sets, how can we ensure that this community is seen? Join a creative technologist and an expert on disability inclusion as they walk through examples of machine learning designed for people in the disabled community, and outline specific steps for AI development that will ensure no one is left behind.
