SXSW 2024

The AI We Should Talk About is Accessibility & Inclusion

Description:

In the early 2010s, creatives and technologists advocated for the vital need to take a ‘mobile first’ approach in web design and development. Now, to elevate brands, expand customer bases, and improve user experiences, the imperative to take a ‘digital accessibility first’ approach must be championed.

It’s unmistakable that the world has a greater reliance on the web, apps, and online services. This demand means that equal access to information for all is more critical than ever before. Making a commitment to accessibility can feel daunting. Embracing it is liberating and good for business!
