Ouch: Disability Talk

Is ChatGPT a disability ally?

Listen on

Episode notes

Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey look at the lack of accessibility when it comes to getting smear tests if you have a physical disability, with the help of Samantha Dixon, the CEO of Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust. The duo decide whether ChatGPT is a disability ally or not after the artificial intelligence chatbot claimed it was "visually impaired" to get a human to help it with an image-related task. Don't worry, we also have BBC Click's Paul Carter on board to explain exactly what ChatGPT is. And author Jenny Ireland talks about how she combined love, chess and arthritis in her Young Adult book, The First Move, which hits the bookshelves next week.
