Artificial intelligence Discriminating biases Good practices Accessibility
Thomas Belhalfaoui
Thomas has been working since 2013 as a machine learning engineer, at the crossroads of computer science and applied mathematics. He designs and develops artificial intelligence algorithms for companies and public services. He is also a trainer on these subjects, and has a particular interest in the societal implications of these technologies. He is also the author of the podcast “Mais c'était un bon père”, about domestic violence as seen by children.
Since its democratization in November 2022 with the public opening of ChatGPT, generative artificial intelligence has spread at an unprecedented speed. Other forms of AI, such as recommendation algorithms, which are less visible but hegemonic, have already been around for several decades. People with disabilities are both beneficiaries of these technological advances, but are also impacted by their validist bias.
In concrete terms, what does the arrival of these new forms of AI mean for people with disabilities? How can they make the most of them?
This conference will help you understand the main issues associated with artificial intelligence and disability. We'll look at how these technologies work and how they can induce discriminatory biases, particularly towards people with disabilities. Through concrete examples, you'll learn how to spot these biases and interact with AI in a more enlightened way. Finally, we'll explore the opportunities they can offer in terms of accessibility, while analyzing their limitations and potential risks.
