Sessions
Inclusive AI: Who Are We Designing For?
AI systems can unintentionally exclude people when their needs, languages, abilities, or circumstances are overlooked. Explore how inclusive design principles and community perspectives can support more accessible, equitable, and useful AI technologies.
The AI Divide: Beyond Devices and Connectivity
Connectivity alone does not guarantee meaningful access to AI-enabled services and opportunities. Explore how computing resources, accessible interfaces, language coverage, data representation, service design, and institutional capacity are creating a new layer of digital inequality.
Who Can Afford to Benefit from AI?
Access to AI's benefits depends on more than whether a tool is publicly available. Explore how cost, infrastructure, institutional support, language access, disability, and unequal resources can determine which communities gain meaningful opportunities from AI.
