Accesibilidad y Equidad es un encuentro virtual con expertos en accesibilidad de múltiples países y campos de acción, reunidos por primera vez en un espacio para intercambiar experiencias, desafíos y soluciones. La misión de garantizar el acceso a recursos, contenidos y apoyos en la educación difícilmente se puede alcanzar con un enfoque limitado a las experiencias digitales. Cumplir con los estándares ADA o WCAG es importante, pero no resuelve otras problemáticas en grupos vulnerables que les impiden construir competencias, mejorar su movilidad socioeconómica o alcanzar su libre desarrollo como individuos. Accesibilidad y Equidad es una experiencia única para crear lazos. Nuestros expertos compartirán historias que ilustrarán el potencial transformador de diferentes personas y comunidades, la necesidad de tratar estas temáticas en sus dimensiones como educadores, usuarios y ciudadanos, y encontrar mecanismos de acción e impacto desde ahora. Este evento es para usted y sus colegas si desean: › Estar al tanto de la problemática y alternativas de solución en Accesibilidad y Equidad en el mundo hispanohablante › Saber todo lo necesario para contribuir a la reducción de brechas o poner en marcha sus propias iniciativas › Participar en la celebración Global Accessibility Awareness Day y hacer aportes desde su campo de acción local

To celebrate GAAD, A11yTalks is hosting a live virtual talk with Sheri Byrne-Haber. Sheri will talk about leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate accessibility tasks represents a transformative advancement in digital inclusion efforts. These powerful models can replace manual accessibility work by generating image descriptions, providing real-time closed captions, and seamlessly translating content into multiple languages. LLMs can convert complicated documents and interfaces into plain language and improve consistency between products. All of these reduce the burden on content creators, designers, developers, accessibility, and quality assurance teams. As LLM use evolves, it holds the promise of significantly enhancing accessibility and making digital content more inclusive for individuals with diverse assistive technology needs.
