Join us for an engaging and interactive conversation with Dr. Jutta Treviranus, Director of the Inclusive Design Research Centre at OCAD University and a global leader in digital inclusion. As part of Hackforge’s National AccessAbility Week programming, this session will explore how artificial intelligence can both empower and marginalize — and why equity, accessibility, and responsible design must guide the future of AI systems.
Drawing from her leadership in developing the Accessible and Equitable AI Technical Guide and international standards, Dr. Treviranus will share insights into current and emerging risks, strategies to safeguard diverse users, and the process behind shaping inclusive global guidelines. Whether you’re designing AI tools, implementing accessible technologies, or simply interested in the intersection of ethics, tech, and inclusion, this event is for you.
Expect a lively blend of presentation and discussion, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and engage directly. This free event will be hosted live on Zoom and is open to all professionals, practitioners, and community members passionate about building an equitable digital future.
