CTAUR Messaging
janina: still have last CTAUR draft messaging
need to explain why we need to republish
should we remove scoping?
jason: anything out of scope shoudl be taken as for something elsewhere
scott: agree, most of work in past 18 months has been related to scope
janina: we ahe time to think about what feedback we need
janina: several questions we can ask, e.g. complexity management
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and accessibility.
jason: complex topic, how will we confine the scope?
need to confine what we discuss
Scott: suggests we document how existing standards/guidance apply to AI; what guidance is already directly applicable?
scott: What role does AI have in addressing issues in real time, and what can be its contribution to evaluation and remediation tools in accessibility?
Scott: Example: its role in implementing WCAG success criteria; correcting accessibility issues. How effective is AI in supporting the remediation process? To what extent will it increase the coverage of WCAG success criteria achieved by autoamted testing tools?
Scott: there's a lack of guidance on sign language translation tools and their feasibility.
Scott: We need to recognize the opportunities and the potential, while documenting limitations of tools and solutions.
Scott: Example - the generation of textual descriptions of images that don't convey what is important to a reader with a disability.
Scott: What are the accessibility implications? How effective is it in addressing WCAG success criteria? What are the limitaitons?
jason: also the quesiton of macine learning models
jason: how do you make the output of machine learning models accessibel? ou make the
useful solution in prnciple. how effective in practice?
real-time intervention possible but costly
Scott: suggests there are 3-4 subtopics that we could develop as a Working Group Note.
Scott: from the recent conference - the potential of AI to enhance the accessibility of XR environments.
Scott: Notes there is other work of the Task Force that should be taken into consideration by AI software developers.
