Busch, MatthiasPongratz, KatharinaDörner, OlafSiegert, Ingo2024-08-212024-08-212024https://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/44330This paper highlights the challenges of developing AI systems, especially Voice User Interfaces (VUIs), and the need to include the perspectives of individuals with disabilities from the early stages of the development process. The "AI and Educational Sciences Seminar" at Otto-von-Guericke Uni-versity examines the involvement of participants from the regular workshop "Werkstatt Uni" as a focus group for future co-design processes and VUI research. Additionally, the seminar allows edu-cational science students, who do not have programming knowledge, to participate in the design of VUIs. This workshop paper discusses the process and challenges encountered during this initial exploration into inclusive VUI development.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Participative Co-Design for inclusive AI: Challenges and Initial Steps for the Development of Inclusive Voice User InterfacesText/Workshop Paper10.18420/muc2024-mci-ws14-202
