Artificial Intelligence: New Visions of Accessibility


Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 12 PM - 1:30 PM EST

People who are disabled have long relied on technology to provide improved access, and creative innovations regularly advance personal independence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an exciting tool that can apply machine learning to complex accessibility challenges, automating functions that currently require human intervention. What can AI do for accessibility, and what's next?

Join the American Council of the Blind and Verizon for a conversation featuring creative leaders using AI to address pervasive accessibility challenges.
