Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Disability: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Aideen Hartney:

I thank the Deputy. A universal design approach would absolutely be of benefit to AI because one of its key principles is that it designs for all users rather than the middle. I will ask my colleague Dr. Craddock to speak on this because he is the chief officer for our centre of excellence and universal design. He has some useful examples of how not looking at the extreme user has caused issues.
