NeurIPS 2019: Disability in AI panel #45

Open reshamas opened 4 years ago

reshamas commented 4 years ago

NeurIPS (Dec 2019) had a 50-minute panel discussion on disabilities in AI and how the conference could best meet those needs. I have transcribed the discussion here: https://reshamas.github.io/neurips-disability-in-ai-panel-transcript/

Some suggestions include:

having a ramp at all times for stage access, rather than waiting for a request
considering well-being at conferences
providing quieter and less crowded poster sessions
considering invisible illnesses more
considering cognitive disabilities
