Accessibility meets AI
Aske Stampe, Be My Eyes
Wikipedia is nineteen years-old and is still growing, with content being contributed by volunteer editors and read in almost 300 languages worldwide. Rita will share different practices used by the relatively small (some might say scrappy) group of nine designers in the Wikimedia Foundation’s Product team as they create new and improved features to make Wikipedia a more inclusive place to access free knowledge for the next generation of users.
Rita has worked as an interaction designer for the past twelve years. She is a Lead Designer at the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that hosts Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and other open source projects focused on free knowledge. She helps create Wikipedia desktop and mobile products that make the experience of sharing the sum of human knowledge better for readers and contributors alike.
