The Basics
Zero Project – The Basics is a publication series of the Essl Foundation, dedicated to explaining important and emerging topics like Artificial Intelligence, or Assistive Technologies, that influence inclusion, accessibility, and therefore the lives of persons with disabilities.
These series of brief, educational introductions provide food for thought in an entertaining and accessible way. Moreover, they give practical examples of relevance for persons with disabilities.
The Basics are produced in three different and accessible formats: Accessible pdf, audio, and videos with English captions and International Sign translation.
Edition 1: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a simulation of human intelligence. It seeks to imitate the way in which we humans do things and think but do it through technology. AI can be understood as a branch of computer science dedicated to simulating intelligent behavior in computers. In relation to persons with disabilities the following questions are valid: What can AI do for us? Are we replacing old barriers with new ones? Where does it affect inclusion and accessibility already, and what applications can be expected soon?
We at Zero Project believe that AI is here to stay. Therefore, it is better to work with it than to fight it. In the Zero Project Basics series about AI, we explain why.
