About this event

  • 1 hour

Is artificial intelligence (AI) the solution that will fix inaccessible websites? Or does it cause more problems than it solves? Join WeCo's Global Accessibility Awareness Day event, moderated by Paul Daye, to learn how AI impacts the digital accessibility of people with disabilities in both positive and negative ways.

You'll hear the thoughts and experiences of our panel of experts who live with disabilities, including topics such as:

  • Accessibility overlays and widgets
  • AI-powered assistive technology
  • AI tools used to build accessibility into websites and digital products

Our panelists will also demonstrate Be My AI, which allows users with limited or no vision to access visual information and physical spaces. You won't want to miss out—Register today!

WeCo is a mission-based company that is dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations to make their digital projects accessible to everyone, regardless of disability.
