"Can AI help make the world more livable, usable, and fair?"

This track centers the question of who AI is built for. You’ll explore how it can be used to reduce barriers, support autonomy, or empower marginalized communities. That might include:

• AI-powered screen readers, summarizers, or sensory tools

• Real-time captioning, voice-based systems, or language access

• Inclusive design tools that reflect different bodies, needs, and norms

• Projects that confront bias or exclusion in mainstream systems

• Community Outreach and Service projects in the Greater Syracuse Area

We welcome people with lived experience navigating inaccessibility—and those ready to listen, learn, and build differently.
