Can our system's user interface be used by those with special needs or disabilities?
- Does your AI system need to be accessible and usable for users of assistive technologies (such as screen readers)?
- Is it possible to provide text alternatives for instance?
If you answered No then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Implement Universal Design principles during every step of the planning and development process. This is not only important for web interfaces but also when AI systems/robots assist individuals.
- Test the accessibility of your design with different users (also with disabilities).
