As artificial intelligence becomes part of how people work, learn and solve problems, a new University of Phoenix survey conducted by The Harris Poll finds that recent working learners see meaningful opportunities for AI to support accessibility.
The survey was designed to understand the impact of AI in the workplace and learning environments on accessibility, defined as ensuring digital content, tools and resources, including AI tools and outputs, are usable by people with different abilities through inclusive design, use of assistive technology or conformance with accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
The findings were released ahead of the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26.
The survey was conducted among 1,019 U.S. employed adults who completed a professionally presented training or school course in the past 12 months ("recent working learners").
