⁉️Have you encountered bias or harm when using text-to-image tools?

My team is looking for creatives from historically underinvested-in communities who have had negative experiences with these tools for a 60 min interview. More details here: https://t.co/TMQqQy5Jn2

We rolled our accessibility improvements for #AdobeFirefly last week. We are making efforts to improve accessibility of this product during beta.

We will continue to advocate for accessibility and work with folks to make this happen.

I'm thrilled to speak on the Dogma of Inclusion with @alexhaagaard and Florence Okoye at @hmntycntrd's #CriticalUX mini-conference March 3rd @ 10am PT. You can still sign up to attend live or watch the recording - all panels look stellar! https://t.co/P2gRUdPp6p

This will be amazing - I'm excited to dive into what meaningful "inclusion" and equity work in design looks like with Florence and Alex

@davidthewid Are there any sorts of limitations / preferences as to which type of team?

[Mostly here now: @davidthewid.bsky.social @davidthewid]

Is your team/company interested in talking and thinking about Responsible AI more?

We're running a study on a *fun* way of helping teams discuss AI harm. We'll run a 1.5 hr event and tailor it to your team or product context, for free!

DM/reply if interested, & RTs appreciated!

@estherykang building here, a provocation from me: when being "inclusive" or using "participatory" approaches: are we including people in the process of their own exploitation? are we asking them to participate in a status quo that's actively harming them? #criticalUX https://t.co/QsDQFxo1pe

Beyond ad blockers, there's a world of possible browser tools to empower users: combatting dark patterns, manipulative algorithmic recommendations, deceptive political emails… I think technologists have a moral obligation to build such tools even without clear business models.

@tamigraph @albanvillamil @azraism Oooh excited to hear you speak!
