As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the digital landscape, technology is becoming increasingly accessible and efficient. AI is becoming more involved in creating captions, alt-text, audio descriptions, and other forms of content. So is AI making media more accessible, or simply making accessibility faster?
In this webinar, hosted by Amnet, Larry Goldberg, accessible media and technology expert, will walk you through the major challenges of using AI in this context, such as how do we know when the output is good enough? Is AI genuinely improving accessibility? Where is it still falling short? And why does human expertise continue to matter?
