The European Disability Forum (EDF) has created a comprehensive guide to support organisations of persons with disabilities in understanding, implementing, and monitoring the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act within their countries.
This guide highlights the sections of the AI Act most relevant to disability rights, offering practical advice for advocacy and engagement in national AI policy development.
It includes key strategies for:
- Involvement in the legislative process,
- Monitoring AI systems for compliance with accessibility standards, and
- Advocating for bias testing and transparency.
With this guide, the Forum aims to ensure that the AI landscape is inclusive and serves the needs of persons with disabilities. The guide is a living document, open to updates and reliant on feedback from its users.
EDF’s advocacy and capacity-building efforts on Artificial Intelligence are only possible thanks to the generous grants we have received from the European AI & Society Fund.
