AI Fairness and Disability

Established: October 1, 2018

This project examines issues around AI FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics) and Responsible AI, with a particular focus on how AI systems impact people with disabilities. This includes ensuring that mainstream AI tools are inclusively designed such that they work correctly for users regardless of ability status, that accessibility-oriented AI technologies are designed in a human-centered way to solve problems that truly matter to end-users, and that AI practitioners follow inclusive design processes when developing and evaluating emerging technologies, which proactively consider issues relating to disability status, health, and age.
