About this listen
On May 9th, I gave a talk at the UXPA Conference in Boston with Stew Smith about how AI can support accessibility rather than deepen existing gaps.
We explored the current state of assistive tech, the ethical challenges of designing with AI, and why involving users in the process isn’t optional... it’s essential.
Key Takeaways
1. Designing for permanent disabilities benefits everyone.
2. Regulations like the EU AI Act aim to improve accessibility standards.
3. Ethical AI design requires user involvement and transparency.
