We're discussing all things AI and Disability on this episode The Wheelchair Activist!

Emma speaks with Christine Hemphill, a researcher, designer, and innovator specialising in disability and age-inclusion. She is the Founder and Managing Director of Open Inclusion, a UK-based, globally active research agency leading in disability and age-informed market, social, design, and innovation research. Emma and Christine discuss both the negative and positive ways AI is impacting disabled people and how the technology needs to include more diverse perspectives through inclusive data sets.
