The latest artificial intelligence (AI) hype cycle has led to a rethinking of what innovation looks like. Accessibility is no exception. The Large Language Model's success in 2023 begs a rethinking of not only assistive technology but what disability is anyway. In this presentation, we’ll take you through upcoming developments that will change the world. The exciting part is that accessibility will be at the center of this revolution.

In this presentation you will learn how to:

• Taste vision
• Feel sound
• Smell the future

Our reality will soon be generated by AI, in real-time, in the right format, and personalized to the right person. You won’t want to miss it!

There will be time for your questions.

This event will be online and in-person.
