A5 we/our community are experts in spotting barriers/inaccessibility and it is up to us to report this to the developers and designers of the digital environment. Educate them, raise awareness and If possible, suggest simple solutions #AXSChat

A6 I hope for truly conventional computing not the illusion of it #AXSChat

A5 feedback feedback feedback. The more we act as empowered consumers, colleagues and collaborators the more seriously the issues we raise get taken. #AXSChat

A4 I have benefited greatly from remote work and collaboration tools. #AXSChat would not exist without them and many friendships started online. That said a physical meet up is always uplifting #AXSChat

A3 some of the summarisation and prioritisation tools available in things like co-pilot are extremely useful for everyone but could count as an assistive tech for me with my #ADHD & #Dyslexia

A2: AI can transform global collaboration by analyzing vast datasets to uncover insights quickly, enhancing communication, and connecting diverse ideas and cultures. This can accelerate solutions to global challenges like climate change and health crises. 🌍💡🤝 #axschat

A2 I agree with Tom Babinszki the power of AI to simplify language and remove ambiguity has great potential for building communities and reducing misunderstandings #AXSChat

AXSChat One interesting way will be communication among languages, which can include simplified language, not just translation. #AXSChat

Q2In what ways can AI facilitate collaboration among humans to address global challenges and improve societal well-being? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #DisabilityInclusion #AI4good #TechForGood #Disabilities #Accessibility #A11Y

Q1: @TBabinszki from EvenGrounds recently discussed using AI technologies to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. What are your views on this topic? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #DisabilityInclusion #AI 4good #TechForGood #Disabilities #Accessibility #A11Y #AI

A1.1 we can also deploy #AI to improve code and look at fixing issues with inaccessible applications and websites. However we need to be very careful about how we market the capabilities of such tools and not rely upon them alone #axschat

A1 we can definitely deploy #AI to improve #accessibility in fact many assistive technologies are built upon machine learning which is the foundation of what we call #AI image and character recognition, facial and object recognition and of course speech tech.

Hi everyone please welcome our guest on #AXSChat today Tom Babinszki. It’s been sunny today so I couldn’t resist stepping out into the garden.

Sometimes, what's seen as ableism may stem from cultural language norms. It’s crucial to understand context before labeling, but also to educate about harmful impacts.

#AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong

A4 it is very important to consider the underlying intent when experiencing ableism. I would think that nobody would go out of their way to be hurtful in their thoughts or actions. Raise awareness at any given opportunity #AXSChat
