In this special webinar covering the newly released Empowering or Excluding research report, AFB discussed the challenges and opportunities AI technologies pose for people with disabilities, with a focus on people who are blind or have low vision. AFB researchers shared findings from an expert panel and a series of principles for improving the inclusivity and fairness of AI systems, including those used for transportation, teaching, hiring, image description, and more.
Dr. Cynthia Bennett, Senior Research Scientist in Responsible AI at Google, joined us to discuss promising practices for reducing algorithmic bias and involving disability communities in AI development.
