As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly mainstream and embedded into more services, systems and decision-making processes, the risks and impacts of its use must be closely examined. This is particularly true when AI and algorithms are used in ways that can be disadvantageous to the already marginalized needs of segments of the population.
This keynote features Jutta Treviranus, PhD, director of the Inclusive Design Research Centre at Ontario College of Art and Design University, who will present her research and share her insights into what AI reveals and what it obscures, especially for people with disabilities. She will also explore the intersection of AI, inclusion and accessibility, including where automation and assistive technologies could help remove barriers for people with disabilities.
Participants will better understand how AI both underserves and misrepresents people with disabilities, and will be prompted to rethink how they interact with and advise on the use of automated systems.
This session has four parts:
- Land acknowledgement from Safety Coordinator Maddie Reardon.
- Statement from Pueblo Cultural Educator Jon Ghahate.
- Welcome address from the Chair Joyce Peralta.
- Keynote from Jutta Treviranus.
