In the past few years, accessibility has increasingly become a focus of interest in the realm of technology. This is no more true than with the modern developments of AI Technology. However, with AI technology becoming more mainstream in everyday lives, the question comes to mind of how accessibility fits within this new AI frontier. Will accessibility be left behind, as we have seen with paradigm shifts in the past? Brian Trager, Associate Director for the Center on Access Technology at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, will share his visions on the role of AI raising the bar for accessibility with supporting evidence from research and his experiences.

This presentation will discuss the possible role of AI in the pursuit of improving the quality of lives for the deaf and hard-of-hearing population.
