I’m excited to announce that the NTID AI Task Force has been established to discuss the future of AI and make recommendations for how NTID can lead the way in regard to tools in the classroom, academic programming, research, and employment, and provide guidance on how AI impacts deaf and hard-of-hearing people. I look forward to sharing updates on their work in the coming months. Learn more about AI at NTID, including upcoming AI-related events on our new AI at NTID webpage.
