The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Accessibility

Digital accessibility is critical for ensuring that people with disabilities can access and use digital content and services. However, achieving full accessibility can be a significant challenge, especially for organizations with large and complex digital infrastructures. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform digital accessibility by automating the process of identifying and addressing accessibility barriers. But can AI achieve full accessibility without human intervention? This session will feature a panel of accessibility experts who will explore the current state of AI and discuss AI’s future role in digital accessibility.
