Accessibility of Machine Learning and Generative AI.
jason: bibligrophy update
looking to create automatically generated bibliogrophy based on code has been successful
works as intended, not difficult to use
Uses JavaScript to load bibliography file
but needs to serve content over HTTP rather than local file
to test locally, create local web server
second point: in actual text, uses identifiers of records as citation text
issue with exported citation is labels unrelated to article
just need ot rename those and edit out records
otherwise it works and shoudl work with GitHub
woud like moe time to fine-tune
janina: any otehr way to do it locally?
jason: sourcing files needed - bibliogrpahy, JavaScript, CSS, indes.tml file that is our document
need to use local web server or JavaScript files
janina: so repoistory has these files?
jason: yes
janina: so all we need is bibliography text?
jason: yes
janina: for seocnd point, each record needs to be edited by hand?
jason: yes, human readable name needed
jason: limitation of the exporting tools in how they label fields
janina: what's left ot test?
jason: convert over records cited in teh draft and commit to a branch
update 2
went to the wiki and added references and may add some more
<janina> Related section in Edge Capabilities: https://
janina: did some work in capabilities, see link
first draft but relevant
websites being replaced with intent-driven design/user interfaces
task and user-population specific on how you build an interface
interface is built to maximise funcitonality for a target audience, e.g. accessibility, for partiuclar population
and works by leveraging APIs
stacey: key is not if AI is in a product, key is if it works to achieve what users want
on development side, AI is causing a loss in critial thought
<janina> example: https://
jason: having ML tools to help with development coud make this apporach more achievable
literature suggests AI can have accessibility go beyond standards limitations
interesting and contriversal
e.g. if AI could digest a website and provide that content in an accessible way, could be accessibility solution
jason: related issue - machine learning-based agents
if agent has access to APIs
interacting with human user at one end, APIs at the other, traditional website may not be required
jason: do wonder what happens when hype goes awa and technology c continues to evolve
stacey: two different AI appraoches - AI to replace what humans do vs AI as a companion tool
scott: doc started how can Ai improve in current tech, how can it support remediation in web content before user accesses it, now what happens if no website at all? straight from human need to API machine learning and interface of whatever the person wants.
scott: if AI is effective maybe the website isn't required at all for accessibility? great discussion
jason: interactivng with agent
scott: no curated website
jason: need to say something on agents, not sure where it is in current structure
