AI tech lets disabled gamers smash access barriers
Gamers are using their voice to overcome accessibility problems
By 2023, there could be over three billion gamers worldwide. But for some people with disabilities, taking part in this wildly popular passion can be frustrating to impossible. Now, one piece of tech is out to make slaying dragons and building civilizations accessible to all. Will it change the future of gaming?
The AI-powered voice of a generation’s gamers
<p>Since the world's first video game 'Pong' appeared in 1958, gaming has evolved in ways never imagined. But game accessibility is still a problem for as many as 30 million people in the US, because they have an impairment that means they come up against accessibility barriers when gaming. </p><p><a href="https://hellofridai.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fridai</a> is changing all that. The voice-activated, AI-powered assistant gives advice on anything gamers with disabilities may need, from hands-free options to being reminded of the game's objective. In Defenders of Digital series two, episode four, Mark Engelhardt, Fridai's Co-founder and CEO, talks about how the technology uses AI to create a new interface between humans and machines.</p>From Your Site Articles

Five digital defenders, one goal: Protecting us every day
The Defenders of Digital video series profiles tech experts who guard the digital world. We'll soon launch season two, but for now, these are the five people whose stories started it all. They're critical to our future: they make our digital world safe, free, open and functional. Who are they, and what motivates them?
Episode 1: Eva Galperin returns victims’ privacy
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="eb32b42b1a5fd7123605a2440fb90591"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_xqEldPA_xA?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span><p>Eva Galperin was outraged by a hacker who abused women then threatened to compromise their devices if they spoke out. She has since become the most powerful voice in the fight against stalkerware, and in doing so, helped thousands of victims get their privacy back.</p>Episode 2: Einar Otto Stangvik identifies photo thieves
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="57c89b3ed713fa8b300a5ea219fff816"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PQsBiXnuiho?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span><p>Security specialist Einar Otto Stangvik wanted to use his programming skills to do more than make money. He developed software to identify hackers stealing and sharing private photos from iCloud backups. One hacker turned out to be a prominent public figure.</p><p>Now Stangvik is onto an even more ambitious project that will help vulnerable children.</p>Episode 3: Salvi Pascual uncensors the internet for Cubans
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="2f5d671b7f1cfa100f662786ac1a04b7"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dFiTmDMCaiA?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span><p>Salvi Pascual knows the heavily censored Cuban media and internet well. When he moved to the US, friends started asking him to send them online content they wanted. It turned into a business, but getting around government controls had Pascual's team always on their toes. Soon, they'd developed a solution that's uncensored the internet for thousands of Cubans.</p>Episode 4: Giorgio Patrini finds fakes for humanity
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="5f5330b8c32b927b8a1d2f6ed8863c74"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EBBMT_DvjqI?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span><p>Giorgio Patrini is fighting back against the constant threat of fake news.</p><p>'Deepfakes' is the disturbing phenomenon of videos or audio that use AI-based algorithms to substitute one person for another. Nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, they're used to harass, blackmail and commit fraud. But Patrini knew when technology creates a problem, it can also create a solution.</p>Episode 5: Kira Rakova gives us back privacy control
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="9e63c6a736a50e6a6260f74515711b47"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sxJ8S4fOpBU?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span><p>Kira Rakova believes our digital footprint is like a private journal. A breach of private online information is like publishing someone's diary without their consent. While there is increasing concern over personal data being used to manipulate and defraud, not everyone understands the risks and what they can do about them.</p><p>That's where Rakova and her team come in. They use privacy auditing to help people regain control of their data.</p>Watch out for Defenders of Digital series two
