Artificial intelligence (AI) is here today and can make it easier to do the right thing when building web and mobile applications. Large language models and the coding tools built around them (Github, Amazon Code Whisperer) have made it faster than ever to create code. However, since the majority of the code used to train these models is itself inaccessible, the code completions they offer are more often than not, inaccessible.

The good news for accessibility is, there are some important techniques that get around this problem. Come learn how it's easier than ever to build web and mobile experiences the right way from the get-go.

There will be time for your questions.

This event will be online and in-person.

Presenter bio
