The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to grow at a seemingly unstoppable rate, changing our way of life in some remarkable ways.
Digital accessibility is no exception and, in fact. has already become kind of a testing ground for the pros and cons of relying on AI.
Over the past few years, I’ve taken part in some very public discussions of the impact of AI on digital accessibility, from my first blog post for TPGi back in 2021, co-presenting with Hans Hillen at CSUN 2024 (which led to another TPGi blog post), to more recently taking part in an OZeWAI Ask The Professionals panel discussion, a debate at the Perth Digital Accessibility Conference, and an online roundtable – the video for which has just become available.
Sai Ram (Accessibility SME at Wally) hosted Donna Bungard (Director of Accessibility at Indeed), Seema Shariat (Senior Product Manager at BetterUp), Baylee Swenson (Senior Developer at BetterUp), and me in an hour long discussion on the intersection of Generative AI and inclusive design.
