Comment by Calvo Gómez

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence regulation certainly seeks to protect persons with disabilities, but it does not say how to integrate them into the development of AI itself. That is the job of governments—of the Government of Catalonia and of the Spanish Government in the areas that fall within their competences. And you know what? If they do not know what they can do, why not ask artificial intelligence? I did, and it gave me the following recommendations: include persons with disabilities as evaluators of artificial intelligence—of the technologies that are used and of disability-related bias—assessing whether the model generates respectful and appropriate responses. It suggests doing this by holding interviews and workshops, helping define real problems that AI must solve, setting which functions should be priorities for persons with disabilities, generating data with alternative descriptions to aid comprehension, incorporating text generated by affected people, and contributing data on interactions with assistive technology.
