    “Conversations about inclusion in #AI typically highlight the role of fair hiring practices and equal access to education. For people with disabilities, having access to the actual tools of development is equally critical.” @venkypotluri is working on it: news.cs.washington.edu/2022/05/09/app…

    One of the most exciting aspects of research is when it translates from carefully executed studies to users who would benefit from the work. Great work by @dj_hci and his colleagues! Attending #Assets2020? Check out the demo in the social break!
