Discussion table organized by the CRIR Research Axes Coordination Team
The CRIR research axes team is organizing a series of 3 discussion tables on the integration and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of rehabilitation. These events will explore various issues and perspectives related to AI:
- Table 1: Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Rehabilitation Services and the Quality of Life of People Living with a Disability – March 27, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
- Table 2: AI resources currently available for researchers – April 23, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
- Table 3: Policies related to AI accessibility for people with a disability – May 22, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Join us for the first discussion table in this series :
TABLE 1 :
AI is becoming increasingly present in our daily lives, transforming numerous fields, including rehabilitation. Its integration raises key questions for research and for people living with disabilities, particularly regarding its potential to improve services and quality of life.
Join this engaging discussion table featuring four panelists specializing in rehabilitation and AI. Together, they will explore how AI can contribute to enhancing rehabilitation services and improving the quality of life for people living with disabilities.
