ASU students use AI to redefine disability representation
Despite that almost 30 percent of adults in the U.S. have a disability of some kind, there’s a lack of inclusive representation of disabled persons in the media. An interdisciplinary group of female ASU Online students is taking up of the challenge to change that situation. They are joining forces to explore how artificial intelligence, or AI, can help map the way to meaningful change toward equality in representation. As Team Fairplay, the group reflects both the diversity and interdisciplinary collaboration encouraged by ASU leaders. The team’s members include Liliana Chen, identified in the article as Yiyan C., an undergraduate computer science student in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools.
