Disability Today - Episode 1 - AI Friend Or Foe?

Business Disability Forum’s Disability Today podcast series will discuss the issues that affect us now, and will be part of our reality tomorrow. All too often, disabled people are overlooked and forgotten when considering what the future holds, and the challenges the world faces today. Leading experts will join Business Disability Forum CEO Diane Lightfoot to discuss how disabled people and business are or will be affected. These debates will explore the challenges, and the solutions to creating a more inclusive world. In the first episode of the series, AI Friend or foe? Diane discusses if disabled people risk being further excluded from jobs by the increasing use of AI or if new technology always creates new opportunities with guests Christopher Patnoe Head of EMEA Accessibility and Disability Inclusion at Google and Claire Cookson, CEO of Pathways Education Ltd, an organisation committed to re-engineering SEND education though the development of pioneering technology, education settings and national policy. Business Disability Forum is the leading business membership organisation in disability inclusion. www.businessdisabilityforum.org.uk
