I never thought how AI can assist those with disabilities in the music industry here is a great example. For the first time since a 2013 stroke left country singer Randy Travis unable to speak or sing properly, he has released a new song. He didn’t sing it, though; instead, the vocals were created with AI software and a surrogate singer. My wife who is huge country music fan has been listening to his new song all week.

On April 18th, I was invited with little to no prep time to appear as part of a panel of witnesses for the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, as they conducted a study on the Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations. It was a privilege to speak alongside Maayan Ziv, who delivered an outstanding and emotionally charged message. Though not my best speech, I believe I effectively conveyed my message. My three key points were: firstly, emphasizing the need for the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) to collect and annually publish accessibility related travel data; secondly, asserting that our equipment is inherently tied to human rights; and finally, advocating for collaboration between the air travel industry and medical industries to improve the design of wheelchairs and assistive devices for use in the confined spaces of airplanes. The session is lengthy, but you can fast forward to the key parts if you wish. I extend my gratitude to MPP Taylor Bachrach for facilitating my participation in this session.

More workers are returning to the office. The pandemic-era commute might be changed forever. Continued teleworking could ease traffic congestion, experts say, but only if commuters don’t shy away from mass transit.
