This is the most important point we need to emphasize (and I include it in every presentation I make on AI) This is essential, for meeting functional needs associated with all disabilities, including cognitive and learning as well as visual and everything else. We already see today that people's views on whether AI has succeeded at a thing wildly vary. Sometimes the people who say it has just accept a lower bar for quality. Sometimes it's because the work wasn't put it to make an accessible product in the first place. While there exist AI products today that people with disabilties find useful, we can't assume sufficient reliability will exist for all functional needs and requirements in the future. Chances are it won't (eg “hallucination/“confabulation” is inherent to LLMs and unsolvable).
