Re: Welcome to the Web & AI Interest Group (WebAI) - Please introduce yourselves.

Hello Fabien, everyone,


I'm Léonie Watson, coFounder and Director of TetraLogical [1].


I'm coChair of the WebApps WG, and a member of the APA WG and AG WG. I 
also serve on the W3C Board of Directors, though my participation in 
this IG is as a representative of TetraLogical not the W3C Board).


My interests in AI and agentic AI are where they intersect with 
accessibility; where they may do harm [2], or do good [3], and what that 
means for the Web in general and W3C more specifically.


Looking forward to being part of this conversation!


Léonie
