Accessibility and AI

Did you know that you can ask Google Gemini to create a transcript from an audio file? Or that LibreChat can use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text from an uploaded file? Or that Claude can reformat content to be more screen-reader friendly? There are many ways that AI tools can be used to help you with accessibility improvements, and help you students with understanding complex content. This session will explore the relationship between AI tools and accessibility, with the caveat that not all tools are created equal and not all output is fully accurate. Plus it’s really critical that you understand what happens to any content that you upload into an AI tool from an IP and ownership perspective! Bring your AI tool of choice and your questions and we will explore together and gain resources to help with continued learning and experimentation.
