I am so excited for this book – Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech, edited by Lainey Feingold, Reginé Gilbert, and Chancey Fleet. It’s out worldwide 6 May.
I wrote a chapter in it – my chapter is about facial difference and AI. I have shared my own experiences with international travel, and my opinions on beauty privilege bias, and referred to important research and recommendations on ensuring people with facial differences are included in AI development and use from Face Equality International. It was a pleasure to work with Lainey Feingold on the writing, editing and also promotion – she’s such a nurturing editor.
From the blurb:
“Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech is a practical guide with an urgent goal: to help end tech exclusion of 1.3 billion people across the world with disabilities.
This book introduces the first Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework – an action-oriented, three-part tool designed to influence, change, and disrupt patterns of exclusion with values, actions, and questions. Thirty-nine disabled and nondisabled authors from ten countries and one commonwealth apply this framework across technologies, sectors, and countries.”
The book is available in hardcover, paperback and ebook – you can get it in Australia via Booktopia and Amazon, and in other countries too.
