The Shaping the Future: AI session from day one of RNIB Scotland's Inclusive Design for Sustainability Conference.
The advancement of artificial intelligence across many aspects of life seems almost inescapable. In this session we will capture the advancement of generative AI, and the journey through to the advent of multi-modal artificial intelligence. We will consider the impacts for learning, work, mobility and leisure. Our speakers will also aim to orient the session towards tangible life-changing aspects from an inclusion perspective.
The panel discussion was facilitated by: Aidan Forman, Director of Technology at RNIB and featured: Jodie Rodgers, Chief AI Officer at Transparity, Seema Flower, Managing Director at Blind Ambition, Maria Skoularidou from Broad Institute MIT and Harvard, and Agustya Mehta, Director of Reality Labs Hardware Engineering at Meta.
