The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) has a new study on the impact artificial intelligence (AI) will have on people with disabilities. The report “Empowering or Excluding: Expert Insights on Inclusive Artificial Intelligence for People with Disabilities” discusses topics including how:
- Human auditing of AI decisions in employment is critical.
- The tech industry needs more diversity in its workforce to recognize AI bias.
- Auditing of datasets and models must account for anti-disabled bias alongside bias of race and gender.
- AI use cases must also focus on expanding access and inclusion, not just on avoiding harm.
