The Importance of Inclusivity in Technology
The Importance of Inclusivity in Technology. Estee Lauder’s partnership with Microsoft to create AI-powered makeup apps highlights the importance of inclusivity in technology. Flora Bazie, a digital accessibility expert, emphasizes that inclusive digital products attract a larger market and have a positive impact on business. The World Health Organization reports that there are 1.3 billion people with disabilities worldwide, representing a significant consumer base. The Estee Lauder app is a game-changer for people with disabilities who want to use makeup. Technology empowers companies to be more inclusive and provides better experiences for all, including those with invisible disabilities. Online shopping and digital experiences level the playing field for disabled individuals. Flora mentions that she would love a self-driving car as a tech-inspired Mother’s Day gift.
