In collaboration with George Washington University, we conduct interdisciplinary research on policy, ethics, and governance in artificial intelligence. The project focuses on developing frameworks for transparency, accountability, and equitable AI deployment in public and private sectors.
Together with Gallaudet University — the world’s leading institution for the education of deaf and hard of hearing students — we explore how AI can enhance accessibility and communication. The initiative develops inclusive language models and assistive tools that support diverse modes of human expression.
Founded through a collaboration between George Washington University and Gallaudet University, the Institute for Inclusive AI began with a mission to bridge accessibility and technology — ensuring that AI innovation includes the deaf and hard-of-hearing community from the start.
Our team launched pioneering research on accessible AI systems, sign language recognition, and inclusive design. We’ve partnered with policymakers, educators, and industry leaders to influence emerging standards that define accessibility in artificial intelligence.
Today, the Institute unites researchers, advocates, and organizations worldwide to advance equity in AI. Through memberships, events, and education, we’re empowering a growing network committed to creating technology that listens to every voice.
