As artificial intelligence reshapes global governance, economic systems, and social frameworks, the urgent need for accessibility and inclusion has become a pivotal challenge in technology policy.
On June 26, ORF America hosted policy experts for a discussion on the critical intersection of artificial intelligence accessibility. The conversation emphasized the need for truly inclusive artificial intelligence, especially in the context of rising aging populations, increasing conflicts and mass disabling events, and the ongoing energy-accessibility paradox in our evolving digital landscape.
This was the 14th convening of ORF America’s Briefings & Beer series, which offers young professionals in D.C. the opportunity to informally engage with distinguished foreign policy experts and network with peers.

Ann Cody, Former Senior Advisor on Disability Rights, State Department
Ariana Aboulafia, Project Lead, Disability Rights in Technology Policy, Center for Democracy and Technology
Henry Claypool, Technology Policy Consultant, American Association of People with Disabilities
Moderator: Katherine Salinas, Senior Program Coordinator, Technology Policy, ORF America
