Tracking How People with Disabilities Use GAI Over Time

General timeline for the 5-year CREATE RERC, from 4th quarter 2024 to 3rd quarter 2029. Years are shown on a color bar shaded from white to intense gold.

CREATE is tracking how people with disabilities use GAI. Results from this study will be used to develop guidelines for people with disabilities to use GAI safely and effectively, and across a range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

The following research questions guide this longitudinal study:

  • What are the top ableism, privacy, and security risks created by GAI use?
  • What challenges do the racial and/or linguistic biases in GAI technologies pose to users with disabilities of diverse cultural and racial backgrounds?
  • Can training materials help to address or reduce risks and barriers to GAI use?
