AI Deep Dive: AI-Assisted Accessibility and Universal Design
Thursday, October 22, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EDT)
Join Us Virtually
The AFIT AI Deep-Dive Workshop Series is the applied, tactical complement to the monthly AI Community of Practice. Where the CoP focuses on strategic conversation — how AI reshapes institutional thinking, governance, and culture — the Deep Dive sessions focus on implementation: specific tools, practical workflows, and campus-ready techniques that participants can put to work. Each month's session description includes a Tools section listing any software or platforms that will be used during the session. Participants who want a hands-on experience can install or access these tools in advance and follow along in real time. However, hands-on participation is entirely optional — every session is designed so that those who prefer to watch, listen, and ask questions will get full value from the discussion and live demonstrations.

Higher education institutions have legal obligations under Section 508 and the ADA, and AI tooling is maturing rapidly in this space. This session covers the tactical use of AI for generating alt text, real-time captioning, document remediation, accommodations routing, and multilingual student communications. Participants will see current tools in action and assess where AI can close accessibility gaps on their campuses, and where human judgment must remain in the loop.
This session is demo-driven — no software installation required. The facilitator will demonstrate AI-powered accessibility tools including: AI-generated alt text (built into Microsoft 365 and Adobe Acrobat), real-time captioning (Zoom and Google Meet), document remediation and accessibility checking (Grackle for Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat Accessibility Checker), and multilingual AI communication tools. Participants are encouraged to bring a sample document, web page, or campus communication they would like to assess for accessibility gaps.

Topics, tools, and session coverage may evolve as AI technology and the needs of AFIT member institutions develop throughout the year.
