Yesterday the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published significant guidance titled “Visual Disabilities in the Workplace and the Americans with Disabilities Act.” – Includes info on avoiding discrimination when using #AI assessment and hiring tools and a lot more (it’s long! it has lots of footnotes!) https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/visual-disabilities-workplace-and-americans-disabilities-act #accessibility #ADA #artificialIntelligence #Blind

The Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act will give us autonomy over our own health, and will also allow us to care for loved ones. Currently, there are no accessibility regulations that allow blind people to operate medical devices fully and independently, straight from the box. This bill seeks to change that, and also to combat attitudinal barriers regarding the blind and our health.
