Abstract: Society is on the cusp of major changes in the way people interact with systems and products due to the addition of artificial intelligence (AI) in consumer products. Early examples include automatic captioning, driver assistance systems, and voice assistants. While we are still learning how the general public interacts and benefits from AI, there are some early insights on how AI can help people in the accessibility and rehabilitation domains. This talk will provide context on AI, examples of its use in these domains, and potential risks specific to these domains.

Speaker: Aaron Steinfeld, PhD is an Associate Research Professor in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. His educational background includes degrees from the University of Michigan and a post doc at U.C. Berkeley. He leads research centers and teams on accessible transportation, inclusive web technologies, and human-robot interaction. His research focuses on human interaction with complex systems.
