Talking point: Fable contracts people with disabilities to test products that its clients are developing to improve their accessibility. Its customers, which include Microsoft, Meta, and Walmart, are now also working with Fable to make sure training and delivery of their AI products factor in accessibility needs. There is “a very clear danger if we fail to embrace inclusive design in AI—the proliferation of digital exclusion,” Fable CEO and co-founder Alwar Pillai said in a press release.
