Accessibility meets AI
Aske Stampe, Be My Eyes
Services and products can shape our behavior, beliefs and values; and can even be used to manipulate or exploit people or their circumstances. As designers, we know that it is crucial to design taking into account ethical considerations to prevent our work from contributing to generating negative impacts on society – even unintentionally – whether it may be on political scenarios or supporting social, racial or gender inequality. With this talk, we will explore the fusion between Artificial Intelligence and User Experience, redefining how to create digital interfaces powered by this technology, but from a responsible perspective. Let’s join Carolina, Fernanda and Pamela to understand how ethics in AI and UX design shape our future, and what are the keys BBK+2Brains applies to guarantee that the interfaces we create as designers, really contribute to building an inclusive and diverse future.
