Powering Inclusion: Artificial Intelligence and Assistive Technology

Written by Catherine Holloway, PC Chair in AI and Assistive Technologies

ABSTRACT

Assistive technology (AT) is broadly defined as any equipment, product or service that can make society more inclusive. Eye-glasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs or even some mobile applica-tions are all examples of AT. This briefing explores the power of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the design of current and future AT, as well as to increase its reach.
