How could AI transform digital accessibility?
Gartner Survey Reveals 66% of Organizations Increased or Did Not Change AI Investments Since the Onset of COVID-19.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used for digital accessibility to improve general user experiences and make the web more accessible for the differently-abled, but could it provide more to enhance accessibility experiences? Is it continuing to make huge advancements and things easier? Is it refining automated accessibility testing tools? And if it does all these, what stops us from utilizing AI for tremendous success?
According to WHO, over 2 billion people live with a disability, and 20% live with severe functional difficulties. The statistics throw some more spotlights that with more people using content online, accessibility issues have generated new regulations and standards that include WCAG that aim to solve the problems of disabled people. But, with the increasing number of accessibility lawsuits, many enterprises have been sluggish to adopt an accessibility strategy. Subsequently, it is estimated that businesses without accessible websites lose $6.9 billion per year to competitors whose sites are made accessible.
Technology helps revolutionize the world into a better place with artificial intelligence accessibility. The Web provides the possibility of unusual access to data and communication for many people with disabilities. The accessibility hindrances to voice, audio, and visual media can be accessible easily through web technologies. The collected information provides more intuitive responses and helps those with hearing loss by auto-captioning with AI. Facial and image recognition can assist those with poor vision or total vision loss.
The rising demands of the online space come with huge expectations around accessibility. The current and future implications of these advancements are wide-reaching and essential. AI building blocks help develop complex, creative services that can enhance the life of the disabled and satisfy their requirements. Digital Accessibility ensures the appropriate communication of the IT systems with assistive technologies. Sun Technologies’ SWAUT framework allows you to leverage our years of experience on accessibility initiatives. It also provides you access to our deep and in-depth knowledge of the innovative tools, techniques, and methodologies that have been developed to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
People with disabilities harness assistive technology along with core functionalities to access the digital systems. Artificial intelligence brings enormous potential in helping people with vision, hearing, cognitive, speech, mobility, and learning impairment to experience a better quality of life. AI-powered assistive technologies have proven to bring eminent benefits for people with disabilities, particularly concerning human connection, everyday functions in the modern world, and employment. When inclusive design incorporates AI, it has the potential to improve assistive products through powerful features. For example, users with vision impairment can use screen magnifiers to augment their display, making it easier to manage input and output tasks while ensuring compliance with the ADA regulations.
AI technologies significantly impact people with disabilities by pulling out access difficulties and improving users’ capabilities. The development and deployment around such technologies must deliberately abide the ethical considerations.
