Check out this blog post from the Digital Learning Institute on the role of AI in assistive technology. The blog briefly touches upon AI ethics, privacy, and the need to focus on user-centered AI design, as well as using AR/VR and wearable technologies.

From the blog:
"AI already impacts every aspect of daily life, and none more so than in assistive technology. According to the World Health Organization, up to 2.5 billion people worldwide require one or more assistive products. And with the ageing population, that number is expected to increase to 3.5 billion by 2050. From employment to education and daily living, assistive technology supports individuals with disabilities in achieving their potential and participating in society.”

Granted, the blog is intended to get the reader interested in signing up for the training that the Digital Learning Institute offers, though it also makes one consider the potential human benefits of AI use in assistive technology rather than just a way to cut costs. ~ Jim

Accessibility, but make it real-time. 👀

At the India AI Impact Summit 2026 (Feb 19), the Prime Minister’s speech featured live AI-powered sign-language translation, not captions later, not a summary tomorrow. LIVE.

If national-level events can do it, your webinar probably can too.
