Our Projects

Advancing Inclusive AI through partnership

Two projects sit here. One is with companies. One is with U.S. policy. Both are research work with Gallaudet and the Lab.

Corporate Inclusion Project

We work with companies so their AI can be used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Members get the Inclusive AI Label, certification, and straight guidance. Accessibility has to be in the product, not a slide at the end.

Join if you want the Label and a seat in the work.

Policy Reform Project

This project looks at U.S. accessibility rules as AI changes.

We write papers and sit with agency and Hill staff, universities, and companies that have to live with the standards.

Write us if you want in on a paper or an event.

Inclusive AI

Our Mission Statement

What we do
Research

Accessible AI

We study accessible AI and sign language and AI. The test is whether a deaf or hard of hearing person can use the system.

Partners

Universities and companies

Faculty, Lab researchers, and company teams sit in the same work. The point is a product someone can use.

Teaching

Training

We run training for industry and policy people — not only academics — so inclusive AI is built into the product, not added later.

Shaping Standards

Policy Research & Engagement

We write and hold meetings on accessibility standards with scholars, companies, and policymakers. The test is whether the next system is usable.
