BU Wheelock Hosts SLxAI Summit
Panelists at a BU artificial intelligence summit held April 16 in the Metcalf Ballroom discuss the ethical boundaries and personal responsibilities of AI-based sign language systems deployed at scale. The panel, Ethics: Where Does it Stop?, was one of several held during SLxAI, a two-day summit hosted by Wheelock College of Education & Human Development that brought together global researchers, companies, and Deaf-led organizations to focus on the future of sign language AI tech, ethical design, multilingual access, and international collaboration. The panelists were (from left): Abraham Glasser, assistant professor at Gallaudet University; Adam Munder, Sorenson Communication’s head of insights for AI sign language translation; Naomi Caselli, Wheelock associate professor of Deaf education and director of BU’s Deaf Center; Maartje De Meulder, Deaf scholar and senior researcher at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht; and Thomas Horejes, chief advocacy officer of SignWow.
