• this week I met with a subject matter expert talking about AI & accessibility + checked in with my thesis advisor
• Main takeaways for this week:
  • the future of human-centered AI will possibly not be human-centered — AI does not have senses and human abilities, tagging everything to minute detail may be the way forward — and that the process of making it AI accessible is synonymous to making it human accessible
• Conducted a survey sent out to designers —
  • most people neglect motor skill accessibility when they work on digital design projects
  • Top 2 perceived concerns about AI use in accessibility are Privacy and Overreliance on AI
  • Top 2 perceived benefits about AI use in accessibility are Time Saving and Reduced Manual Labor
  • Over 83% of respondents are not familiar with AI tools that can be used in the accessible design process
  • Motor Accessibility is the least paid attention out of the listed accessibility types.
  • 0% of respondents have received accessibility education/learning from their employer
  • Over 83% of respondents have a somewhat clear understanding of accessibility requirements from their employer, and almost 17% of our respondents claim to have no clear expectations of accessibility from their employer.
