About this episode

For many years, Intel has been developing AI technologies that can empower people with disabilities, and improve accessibility in our modern world. Disabilities come in all forms, and as we develop technology and tools, the taboo associated with such disabilities lessen over time. Muteness, for example, evolved into the rich sign languages used all over the world but with the adoption of AI, those who struggle to speak have even more options for communicating. Discover how AI is breaking down barriers, enhancing mobility, and promoting inclusivity. Join the conversation with XIMERA LLC co-founder, Jagadish Mahendran, and AI Evangelist, Lama Nachman as they dive into the many ways AI is making a meaningful difference in the lives of those with disabilities.
