Episode notes

In this episode of Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the complex world of artificial intelligence and its impact on accessibility.

First up there’s an interesting discussion with Brian Hartgen from Hartgen Consultancy, who has developed an accessible Zoom scheduling app to ease meeting management following accessibility issues faced by blind users of the online conferencing platform on Windows.

The conversation on AI kicks off with some tongue-in-cheek remarks about AI’s potential to “kill off careers” before moving into an in‐depth discussion with special guests Joe Devon—co-founder of Global Accessibility Awareness Day—and Ben Ogilvie, a developer fusing AI with inclusive technology.

Listeners will gain insights into how AI might replicate existing accessibility issues if trained on inaccessible data, and real-world challenges and opportunities for blind and low-vision users in the digital space.
