• Authors: Jennifer Mankoff, Janice Light, James Coughlan, Christian Vogler, Abraham Glasser, Gregg Vanderheiden, Laura Rice,
• Abstract summary: We argue that there is a need for Accessibility to be represented in several important domains.<n>Data security and privacy and privacy risks including data collected by AI based accessibility technologies.<n> Disability-specific AI risks and biases including both direct bias (during AI use by the disabled person) and indirect bias (when AI is used by someone else on data relating to a disabled person)

• Abstract: We argue that there is a need for Accessibility to be represented in several important domains: - Capitalize on the new capabilities AI provides - Support for open source development of AI, which can allow disabled and disability focused professionals to contribute, including - Development of Accessibility Apps which help realise the promise of AI in accessibility domains - Open Source Model Development and Validation to ensure that accessibility concerns are addressed in these algorithms - Data Augmentation to include accessibility in data sets used to train models - Accessible Interfaces that allow disabled people to use any AI app, and to validate its outputs - Dedicated Functionality and Libraries that can make it easy to integrate AI support into a variety of settings and apps. - Data security and privacy and privacy risks including data collected by AI based accessibility technologies; and the possibility of disability disclosure. - Disability-specific AI risks and biases including both direct bias (during AI use by the disabled person) and indirect bias (when AI is used by someone else on data relating to a disabled person).

  Despite specialized accessibility tools, novice developers often remain unaware of them, leading to 96% of web pages that contain accessibility violations.<n>Our formative study with 16 developers revealed three key issues in AI-assisted coding: failure to prompt AI for accessibility, omitting crucial manual steps like replacing placeholder attributes, and the inability to verify compliance.<n>To address these issues, we developed CodeA11y, a GitHub Copilot Extension, that suggests accessibility-compliant code and displays manual validation reminders.

  There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.
