Innovating for Inclusion: AI’s Role in the Future of Aging and Disability

Technology is ubiquitous, shaping how we live, work, and move in the world. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, it plays a crucial role in addressing fundamental human needs such as mobility, transportation, and access to essential services. This fireside chat will highlight groundbreaking AI innovations that create a more inclusive society for aging individuals and people with disabilities (PWD). These solutions enhance independence, enable equitable participation in society, and helping individuals thrive in all aspects of life.

The panel will showcase real-world examples of AI driving change across transportation, mobility, and workplace accessibility. AI tools are now helping individuals with disabilities and older adults navigate their environments with greater ease, from ride-sharing apps that reduce inadvertent discrimination to AI-powered visual assistance that aids in daily tasks. These innovations are improving access to services, optimizing transportation, and creating more inclusive workspaces and marketplaces—enabling individuals to overcome challenges and engage in society like never before.

This conversation will also underscore the importance of proactive involvement from both individuals and organizations in developing AI technologies that prioritize accessibility. With thoughtful, inclusive design and policy, AI has the potential to break down barriers, open new opportunities, and drive transformative change. Join us for an inspiring discussion about how we can harness the power of AI to ensure that everyone—regardless of age or ability—can benefit from these innovations.
