WEBCAST SEP 12 – A11yNYC – Real AI Solutions for Accessibility Challenges – Kevin Berg
On Tuesday September 12 2023 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Real AI Solutions for Accessibility Challenges‘.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is here today and can make it easier to do the right thing when building web and mobile applications. Large language models and the coding tools built around them (Github, Amazon Code Whisperer) have made it faster than ever to create code.

However, since the majority of the code used to train these models is itself inaccessible, the code completions they offer are more often than not, inaccessible. The good news for accessibility is, there are some important techniques that get around this problem. Evinced VP of Solution Engineering Kevin Berg will show how it’s easier than ever to build web and mobile experiences the right way from the get-go.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG.

WEBCAST FEB 7 – A11yNYC – Opportunities and Challenges of AI for Accessibility – Cynthia Bennett and Shari Trewin
On Tuesday February 7 2023 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EST (00:30-01:30 UTC Feb 8) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Opportunities and Challenges of AI for Accessibility‘.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the power to change the experience of living with a disability. For example, image analysis can generate descriptions of places and images a person can’t see, and speech recognition helps many people to communicate, learn, or control their environment.

However, bias embedded into AI systems, when unchecked, can cause harm, often to people already excluded from technology development processes. For example, when someone’s voice is not recognized, they cannot take advantage of the accessibility provided by speech recognition systems like smart speakers and dictation software.

In this talk, Drs. Cynthia Bennett and Shari Trewin will go over contemporary concerns at the intersection of AI bias, accessibility, and disability, and share recent research and industry efforts toward inclusive innovation with AI.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG
