My biggest fear is that usability increases for AI but not for disabled people.
This goes for #govtech as well.

When you have a kid who is in Early Intervention or has an IEP at School, the administrative burden is a never ending process.

If this having taken so long feels crazy to you, just wait until you learn about how US automotive crash test safety standards have never had to include safety considerations for those outside of a vehicle.
After years of limbo, the U.S. government has given the green light to a crash test dummy based on the female body. But will it be used right away? Not so fast. n.pr/48r84mJ
The female crash test dummy has been a long time coming — but she isn't here yet
