I commend workers with disabilities for their significant contributions to the economy, despite non-inclusive policies and barriers, and I also applaud employers who foster inclusive workplaces for them. #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #LaboursDay #Equity #SDGs #DisabilityRights

Inaccessibility is partiality. Not merely inconvenience ,accident or oversight. It is pure bias. It is discrimination. Inaccessibility is partiality. #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityRights #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #a11y #SDGs #Equity #Inclusion

All those one-sided video interviews for jobs were a big hype in the past few years. Those are very stressful for also anyone who might not want to disclose (yet) their disabilities to the employer #axschat

A6 a world that does not discriminate based on disabilities, neurodiversity, cultures, languages… One of the big elephant in the room is that all the htped video interviews rank people poorly if eg blind/autistic/deaf/“foreign”. #axschat

A5 a good cross- and intersectional representation of different cultures, disabilities and neurodiversity could be very useful in creating that more inclusive digital future #axschat

@debraruh But that should also not be interpreted that we can’t have meaningful relationships with people we’ve only known digitally. Just like maybe our grandparents had pen friends far away but they knew over the years. I miss some friends who I’ve never met in person #axschat

A4 some face to face can be good, but it needs to be useful and desired by all parties. Don’t eg just make all staff commute to office to be in a meeting that could have been a two line email, just because you wanted some chat with coworkers. #axschat

@debraruh @AXSChat I would love that actually. Make it something tiny and fit to any sun or regular glasses frames, then have it tell who people are, and what their faces tell #axschat

@DestekSolutions Only if we tackle all the biases AI has because it got them from the people first… But definitely potential there #axschat

@AkwyZ Long way to go still with all the translations tools. Some languages are very hard to try to get accuracy or sense in translation. The classic machine translates Chinese to English on amazon as a prime example. But also even european languages #axschat

a2 most people seem to like AI so maybe they’ll listen. i just find AI results to often be flaky and unreliable, like if you asked a 5 ywae old #axschat

a1 I would not trust anything that needs accuracy and reliability to any AI application yet. #axschat

A6: I aspire for AI to drive truly inclusive and accessible environments. Harnessing AI to adapt to diverse needs can create equitable opportunities in all societal aspects. Let’s celebrate diversity through AI! 🌟🤖 #InclusionRevolution #axschat

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

I hope to see AI leveraged for universal accessibility. #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #a11y #AI
