AI for good? Several Use Cases
AI gives designers a way to make digital products more accessible at scale. Instead of treating accessibility as a final checklist, designers can use AI throughout the process to detect barriers, adapt experiences to different needs, and support more inclusive design decisions

Generate better content alternatives
AI can help create alt text, captions, image descriptions, and summaries faster, which helps screen reader users and people who process information differently.
It is important to adapt your alternative text to your context (e-commerce, blog or social media) and with AI you can quickly adapt your text with respect to your context and target audience.
Bridging the gap to the physical world
With AI you can generate 3D models and use them to create tactile braille shields. For example with Braille 3D GPT.
Registered ChatGPT users can use GPT worldwide free of charge. Currently, it's possible to create Braille characters in the basic font for German, English, French, and Spanish. With a simple 3D printer (starting at around €200), Braille signs can be printed for just a few cents.
Integrate accessibility earlier
Another major benefit is early testing. AI tools can help designers spot accessibility issues before launch, such as poor contrast, unclear labels, or layouts that may be difficult for people with motor or cognitive differences. This saves time and makes accessibility part of the design process instead of a cleanup step. Although automatic accessibility scanners should be used with caution, it gives you a direction and can spot critical issues earlier.
The best use of AI in accessibility is not automation for its own sake. It is using AI to help designers listen better, test earlier, and build with more people in mind.
