In this episode of This is HCD, guest host Hyun Song kicks off her special series on inclusive design and accessibility, in conversation with Jamaal Digital Davis, a senior inclusive designer at Yahoo and founder of Inclusive Tech Club.
Jamaal's core idea is simple: compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. In this episode, we talk about what inclusive storytelling really means, how to tell stories that don't flatten people into stereotypes, and what changes, for better and worse, when generative AI becomes part of how those stories get made.
Jamaal is also a filmmaker. His short film BEADS, a four-minute Afrofuturist drama made with generative AI, is the phoenix project he describes in the episode. You can watch the 60-second teaser and see the visuals at beadsfilm.com, and enter your email there to get a link to the full film
