Announcing The Find A Way Initiative:
Feb 5th, 2024 marks the launce of The "Find A Way" initiative, distinctively named to highlight the unique challenges and lack of straightforward solutions in addressing discrimination facilitated by AI technologies, focuses on exploring innovative methods to protect individuals with learning disabilities like dyslexia from AI-driven discrimination. This effort acknowledges the misuse of AI in non-medical diagnosis and discrimination through typing, handwriting, video, and audio analyses, exposing vulnerable groups in various communication and application processes. Despite current attempts, including the development of ethical AI models like the one by "I Believe In You" which supports dyslexic individuals without attempting diagnosis, the initiative aims to collaboratively and transparently refine and assess new approaches using evolving metrics, seeking to mitigate the risks while harnessing AI's supportive potential.
