    It's hard to believe that just 14 days ago I was 13,000km away in California, wondering how Hans Hillen and my talk on AI and web accessibility would go down at a CSUN conference where there were at least 20 presentations on related topics (it all went very well, thanks for asking 🙂).

    When we were preparing the talk, we realised we had way too much material, so we had to chop a lot out to fit the time available.

    I kept what I cut out, though, and have now used that to expand my talk transcript into a TPGi blog post, using my slides to illustrate the article.

    My focus was on how AI is changing the web accessibility tools we use now, namely automatic alt text generation, automatic captioning and AI-powered overlays. No lack of potential controversy, then!

    Anyway, I hope it's an interesting read and maybe adds a little to your perspective and understanding of AI and web accessibility.

    Late to the party because I really needed to think about this.

    I *believe* what is happening is IAAP is hosting a session promoting #overlays.

    It has 7 dudes on a panel:

    • One is from #FACILiti (filed SLAPPs against disabled critics).
    • One from #UserWay (known for lifting content, failing at WCAG).
    • One from #AccessiWay (was so bad I ignored it).

    And then three more I’m disappointed to see aligning themselves with this.

    What’s the point of IAAP again?

    I appreciate that IAAP and the European Disability Forum essentially said #overlays are shit back in May:
    edf-feph.org/accessibility-ove

    But IAAP allows overlays as members, so it kind of undercuts the message (and assures I will not join).

    Which is why I am happy the European Commission has confirmed #overlays are shit:
