With the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI), it is more important than ever to understand and address the opportunities and concerns AI creates for persons with disabilities.
This first workshop will give an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI). It will look at AI in education and employment.
Experts will explain how you can join the discussion on artificial intelligence, and together we will raise important considerations for your work in education and employment, and explore how the use of AI affects persons with disabilities in these domains
EDF members will have time to share experiences and ideas, and ask questions. Others interested in the topic are also welcome to listen in.
We will also discuss take-away, next steps – and how this conversation is important for the work on the Artificial Intelligence Act of the European Union.
Live captioning in English and International Sign interpretation will be provided.
For any questions, contact EDF AI Policy Officer at kave.noori@edf-feph.org
