Innovating for Access – AI in Daily Life

June 22, 2026
3-4 PM ET

AI is changing how people work, communicate and access daily life. For technology, policy and innovation leaders, this conversation offers timely insight into what AI means now for accessibility and what it may require next.

Join CTA and its research partners, Access Living, CommunicationFIRST and Disability Belongs™️ for a discussion on key findings from CTA’s AI & Accessibility white paper. Grounded in community research and lived experiences, the session will explore how people with disabilities are using AI today, where it is creating meaningful impact and what barriers still limit adoption.

The session will highlight real-world use cases across transportation, healthcare, employment, household management and daily living, while addressing important considerations around usability, privacy, trust and inclusion.

Participants will gain practical insights to help inform product development, accessibility strategy, public policy and responsible AI deployment.
