BEIJING, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On Dec. 3, HONOR, together with the United Nations China Disability Theme Group, Phoenix TV, and other organizations, gathered to celebrate the 2023 International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
The theme for the 2023 International Day of Persons with Disabilities is:"Empowering, consulting, and led by people with disabilities – acting together to advance the SDGs"。In celebration of this year's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the United Nations China Disability Theme Group cooperated with Phoenix TV to hold a groundbreaking performance of China's first disability integration drama "Reversing the Future". The play is part of an inclusive arts project initiated by the Beijing Tongzhou District Leyirong Social Work Office (formerly Beijing Disabled Sisters). As the first pan-disability open disability integration drama in China, the cast and crew of the play cover a variety of disabilities such as the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, and the physical impairment, aiming to guide the public to put aside stereotypes and convey the concept of disability integration.
After the performance, a high-level theme dialogue was held in the studio of the Phoenix Center, where Ma Bing, President of IT and Quality Operations of Honor Process, and five other guests had an in-depth discussion on the creative concept of the show and the concept of disability integration, and discussed issues such as accessibility, inclusiveness, equal participation, legal implementation and the role of technology. Ma Bing said that today's performance gave Honor a strong sense of honor for the work of science and technology for good, but the conflict shown in the performance also enhanced Honor's sense of mission and crisis.
Honor's vision is to create a new world of wisdom for everyone and leave no one behind. Adhering to this concept, Honor continues to apply intelligent technology to mobile phones to solve the pain points of people with disabilities, such as Honor's end-to-end call subtitle function launched in 2023, which can well solve the problem of hearing impaired people playing **, and this function realizes end-to-end translation, without relying on wifi or data networks. In addition to being committed to making people-centered products, Honor has also been insisting on people-centered activities. Honor Talents Global Design Competition is a youth empowerment project that the company has insisted on for 4 years, hoping to provide a stage for young people all over the world to show their talents.
Ma Bing also said that art has helped science and technology workers stimulate their imagination and inspire a sense of mission for technology companies. Today's AI technology is evolving with each passing day to help us make up for lost bodily functions for the benefit of people with all kinds of disabilities, and the future of humanity is"Symbiosis between man and machine"future. This is the mission of science and technology workers.
The ethical and moral issues brought about by the development of science and technology in the drama are also hot issues that Honor Company is concerned about, which requires not only policy-level supervision, but also a conscience for enterprises. Be responsible AI and make technology good.
