AI, MR, and Inclusion: Challenges and Innovations in Assistive Technologies

In this talk, Ed Cutrell (Sr. Principal Research Manager, Microsoft Research) describes some of the new opportunities and innovations in assistive technologies that they have been working on at Microsoft, as well as some of the ways that we are trying to drive research to create more inclusive technologies for all of us. New digital technologies in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Mixed Reality (MR) are opening new opportunities for people with disabilities. The rapid pace of innovation in machine learning and new kinds of hardware has enabled the development of novel assistive technologies that can provide entirely new capabilities for people who are blind or low vision, d/Deaf and hard of hearing, those with mobility impairments, and the neurodiverse. But the development of these technologies is marked by new challenges that may threaten the promise that they provide. Questions of ethics and inclusion are often afterthoughts (if they are addressed at all) in design and implementation that may lead to exclusion of potential users. How do we ensure that this data includes the full range of people in the world, such that the models fully represent everyone?
