Can Gen AI make the world Disability inclusive?
summary
Shows concrete demos: taking a photo of a medicine leaflet and having the system read dosage and side effects aloud, generating usable alternative text and event flyers, using Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot for writing to fix dyslexic grammar, role‑playing social scripts for autism, step‑by‑step gluten‑free recipes and grocery price comparisons under €20. Reports workable prototypes at a care center (Itaka), warns about hallucinations and the need for a human coach, and notes image uploads sometimes fail in live demos.
