In a recent discussion on the NVIDIA AI Podcast, Sara Minkara, U.S. Special Advisor on International Disability Rights, and Timothy Shriver, Chairman of the Special Olympics, explored the critical role of AI in enhancing disability inclusion within education. Despite the promise of AI, a survey from the Special Olympics Global Center for Inclusion in Education indicates a disconnect: while most students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their parents see AI as transformative, only 35% of educators believe that AI solutions currently consider the needs of students with IDD effectively. The episode sheds light on the necessity of including voices from the disability community in AI development to ensure that these technologies foster an inclusive future for all.

Persons with disabilities are not usually as effectively socially integrated, mobile and in employment as others. Such social exclusion can prohibit the individualized evaluation of the capacities and needs of vulnerable groups (see Arnardóttir, 2017). This can be changed if they had easier access to AI, and the AI systems had been developed specifically for their needs. As the AIs can learn algorithms to understand images, sound, and even language. There are many options to adapt them to the needs of disabled persons. Unfortunately, quite often persons with disabilities are poor (see European Disability Strategy 2010–2020, COM(2010) 636 final), which allows us to assume that there will not be sufficient state support to help such people get the AI or the state would not be interested in developing AI systems for persons with disabilities, thus hampering the “well-being of individuals, and their capacity to develop their full potential in life” (Malgesini et al., 2017, p. 3). The EU Disability Strategy 2010–2020 noted that the 'EU market for assistive devices is still fragmented and expensive. Policy and regulatory framework do not reflect the needs of people with disabilities adequately, neither for product nor service development”. Considering these facts it seems inevitable, but at the same time doubtful, whether and how the individualized collective well-being that the AI systems should improve will be achieved.

Source: The Harvard Gazette - April 3, 2024 From the article: "AI technology can be a powerful assistive tool for people like Saphra with non-apparent disabilities — physical or mental conditions that are not immediately obvious to others. But disability advocates say these tools have a long way to go to become truly accessible. Experts say including disabled people in conversations on AI fairness and the development process is key." #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Disabled #Accessibility #AssistiveTechnology #InclusiveDesign #HelpingOthers

Our co-founder is writing a blog about AI and disability inclusion and would like to hear from disabled people working in this space/using AI tools/developing AI tools. Can you help? #AI #DisabilityInclusion #AssistiveTech #AssistiveTechnology #ArtificialIntelligence #TechForGood #AIForGood #InclusiveAI #inclusion #disability
EDITED POST: Friday 10 May: I have received lots of messages, thank you all, and I now have plenty of sources and people to interview. In fact, I’m thinking of writing a series of blogs on this topic! Watch this space. ### Calling disabled people in my network and those in the disability inclusion/accessibility space working with/using AI tools . . . I'm hoping this wonderful LinkedIn community can help with some research I'm doing for a blog I'm writing about AI and disability inclusion. The World Economic Forum has been exploring opportunities and risks around generative AI for disabled communities, and I'd love to hear from any disabled people in my network who are actively utilising AI tools and finding them amazing, or a bit 'meh,' or useless, and also anyone working in a role to develop inclusive AI tools for disabled people or helping organisations to navigate AI ethically/inclusively (with a focus on disability inclusion). Please comment below/send a DM if you can help (all contributions will be referenced/attributed, of course!) and share with your networks or those working in this field. Sorry for the tight deadline, but if you can get back to me by Thursday at midday that would be ace. Thank you in advance! (No AI was used in the creation of this message 😆) #AI #disability #DisabilityInclusion #TechForGood #AIForGood #InclusiveAI Image description: The words help wanted written in bold, black capital letters on a white piece of paper, stuck to a glass window.
