SUMMARY:AAF Midlands: October Lunch & Learn with Able SC
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we create content\, connect with audiences and measure impact. But without intention\, AI can reinforce bias and create new barriers\, especially for people with disabilities. As marketers and communicators\, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to make sure these tools drive equity and accessibility\, not exclusion. \nThat’s why we’re bringing the local marketing and communications community together for a Lunch & Learn with Able SC focused on AI\, accessibility and inclusivity. Together\, we’ll explore how AI is already being used as a powerful force for innovation and how we can ensure it’s adopted in ways that are ethical\, inclusive\, and human-centered.
