Everest amputee calls for better AI

In a bonus episode of Disability Matters, Debby Elley spoke to Hari Budha Magar who lost both legs serving for the British Army in the Ghurka regiment. He went on to become the first double above-knee amputee to summit Mount Everest, and is now campaigning for more realistic AI representation of disabled people.

To combat this the #DearAI Community Library, created by global prosthetics and MedTech company Ottobock in partnership with Microsoft, contains images of real people with limb differences in everyday situations, including as parents, colleagues, friends and athletes. They are looking for individuals, to find out more. visit https://www.ottobock.com/ottobock-dear-ai/about-dear-ai
