Artificial intelligence has already been integrated into many assistive technologies (AT), improving their functionality and making daily tasks more accessible for people with disabilities. Tools like screen readers, speech-to-text software, and navigation aids now leverage AI to enhance accuracy.

AI is not just enhancing existing assistive technologies - it is becoming a powerful assistive tool in its own right, offering innovative ways to address accessibility needs.

This adaptability allows for more personalized and inclusive experiences.
