From Side Panel to Centre Stage
Photosymbols were invited to present at the United Nations during the 18th Session of the Conference of States Parties to the CRPD (COSP18), sharing our work on inclusive AI and accessible information. We talked about Easy Read, legal access, and the vital role of co-production in shaping technology. Our presentation introduced EveryVoice AI - a new model built from the voices and insights of people with learning disabilities, designed to sit at the heart of all our AI tools, including EasyMaker.
