Throughout the month of August, the U.S. Access Board held a series of public hearings on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on people with disabilities. On August 8, two hearings (in the morning and afternoon) were held to hear from members of the disability community. Additionally, a panel of speakers delivered remarks on the risks, benefits, and potential of artificial intelligence with respect to accessibility.
In addition to delivering remarks at the hearings, members of the public have been invited to send in written comments on the impact of AI on accessibility and people with disabilities. Please note that the period for submitting written comments has been extended to October 31, 2024.
