Learn
In the coming months, we will have a searchable resource library to support your learning. Until then, here are a few items to get you started.
AI and disability, small minorities and outliers
These resources look at how the lack of diversity and inclusion in the collection and design of data sets and machine learning, as well as the embedded biases in AI algorithms, excludes persons with disabilities.
AI Fairness for People with Disabilities: Point of View
A discussion of the challenges persons with disabilities face with current AI systems and the approaches that need to be adopted to ensure fairness in AI development.
A report capturing critical themes and discussions from a workshop at the AI Now Institute at New York University, the NYU Center for Disability Studies.
Toward Fairness in AI for People with Disabilities: A Research Roadmap
Identifies how several AI technologies, such as automated speech recognition tools and language prediction algorithms, may not be useful for persons with disabilities and may discriminate against them.
Work for people with disabilities in data science
A collection of resources about current barriers for working in the data industry that persons with disabilities experience and the importance of having persons with disabilities involved in the development of emerging AI technology.
Making the Future of Work Inclusive of People with Disabilities
A joint publication by Fundación ONCE and the ILO Global Business and Disability Network to connect different areas of debate, looking at the key trends of the future of work from a disability perspective and seeking to identify specific action needed in order to shape the future of work in a more disability-inclusive way.
