Alan Turing Institute Pilot Project - AI and Inclusion This research seeks to understand the design and deployment of AI to benefit all members of society, including traditionally underserved communities. The impact that AI will have on education and employment in the future is undeniable , but the possible outcomes of AI research with those in the largest minority group have yet to be fully explored. The United Nations estimates that over a billion people live with some form of disability and AI could be a force for good for this group as long as they are not marginalised.

Slidewiki A major obstacle to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of education in Europe is the lack of widely available, accessible, multilingual, timely, engaging and high-quality educational material (i.e. OpenCourseWare). The creation of comprehensive OpenCourseWare (OCW) is tedious, time-consuming and expensive, with the effect, that often courseware employed by teachers, instructors and professors is incomplete, outdated, inaccessible to those with disabilities and dull. With the open-source SlideWiki platform (available at SlideWiki.org) the effort of the creation, translation and evolution of highly-structured remixable OCW can be widely shared (i.e. crowdsourced).

ATbar The ATbar is a browser based toolbar to aid accessibility of websites with the option to change the look and feel of webpages through text only enlargement, font style and colour changes plus increased line spacing. There are also features for text to speech, a dictionary, spell checking, word prediction and colour overlays.
