The Double-Edged Algorithm: AI’s Promise and Threat to Disability Rights (in-person)

AI offers unprecedented breakthroughs in speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and automated alt-text—so why are disabled communities bearing its highest costs?

An interactive session on how AI helps—and harms—persons with disabilities.

NB: AI (Gemini, specifically) was used as a thought partner to brainstorm potential titles and descriptions based on the workshop's goals and structure. All suggestions were reviewed and refined by a human.
