Welcome to axis.grunt.ca, a research initiative exploring the intersections of AI, accessibility, and art.
This research project investigates how AI can enhance accessibility and reduce barriers to accessing art and culture for diverse audiences. Through prototyping, community consultation, and this public-facing blog, we aim to address gaps and share practical solutions. Learn more.
- Reviewing current laws and policies (e.g., Canada’s AI laws, Accessible Canada Act)
