Update on the AI Manifesto for Assistive Technologies (AT), we are still looking for more supporters to sign up and share this manifesto with global leaders.
The importance and relevance are quite simple: people with disabilities using assistive technologies participating in the digitalized society and beyond with AT. Using AT for simple things like ‘recognizing faces with an app’ is privacy sensitive data being stored on the cloud. Using AT for speech to text, uses the cloud for data transfer and storages data to for machine learning to improve the app/tool. These might seem harmless but can lead to data risks for businesses and private individuals. Including becoming the victim of crimes, such as fraud, identity theft, etc.
AI surely can bring great opportunities for persons with disabilities, equally we have to make sure that persons with disabilities can benefit equally and without being traceable via their AT. Finally, the data used in AI must be representative and transparent, assuring that persons with disabilities are represented fairly, and without any prejudice.
