AI & persons with disabilities: fighting algorithm discrimination & removing barriers
05-12-2024 - 11:57
During the committee meeting of 3 December, as part of Parliament's Disability Rights Week, IMCO Members discussed algorithmic discrimination and fairness.
The rise of AI technologies in Europe presents significant opportunities but also critical challenges for persons with disabilities. Whilst AI-driven systems can enhance accessibility and inclusion, they also risk amplifying discrimination through biased algorithms. IMCO plays a vital role in shaping policies that ensure the Single Market leverages AI responsibly and inclusively.
Also taking part in the discussion were Ms Jutta Treviranus, Director & Professor, Inclusive Design Research Centre and Mr Kave Noori, AI Policy Officer, European Disability Forum.
