Statement
Algorithmic Spectrum statement
At least 1 in 6 people living with one or more neurological conditions, 1 in 7 are with cognitive impairments, 1 in 4 adults — suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. All of these differences are connected to the spectrum of ability and comorbidity, sensibility, physical and tactile experiences, visual and color experiences, differences in the systems of learning, memorizing, systemizing, and empathizing.
These “invisible disabilities” lead to the biggest level of social exclusion, isolation and rejection across all conditions and states. Unemployment among those with autism is approximately 85%, severe mental health disorders – 68%-83%, Down syndrome – 43%. Social, economic and environmental parameters add even more criteria to this analysis that are distributed across different social layers, subgroups, communities.
How can we co-create nations, cities and ecosystems accordingly?
Explore the overview document.
Algorithms
Algorithms & cities
Our upcoming work “Algorithmic Spectrum: Building Cities, Policies & Algorithms Centering Sensory & Cognitive Accessibility“
- National AI acts, ability & human centricity
- Aligning algorithms, sensory & cognitive diversity
- Assistive technology, modular systems and adoption
- Workplace and labor access
- Open source diversity data
- Cognitive cities and networks
- Social companions, emotions, experiences
- Accessibility and evolving knowledge frameworks
- Policing, misuse, autonomous and high risks systems
- Mitigating ability bias and exclusion
Policies
Policies & letters
Algorithmic policy aims to both empower and regulate the development of technologies, including adaptive, assistive, learning and city solutions, providing rules and guidelines on how different stakeholders can come together in order to build human-centered ecosystems. In particular, Yonah and allies work on policy suggestions, frameworks and letters addressing research, evaluation, aspects of safety, privacy, fairness, accountability, transparency and other human-centricity criteria.
