Accessibility Commissioner at the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to be one of the most transformative accessibility tools of our generation. But innovation alone is not enough. As the Government of Canada implements its new AI Strategy, accessibility must be built in by design, not added as an afterthought. The lived experiences of people with disabilities must help shape how these technologies are designed, deployed, and governed. When accessibility is embedded by design, AI can help remove barriers rather than create them.
