13:01:05 <Zakim> agendum 1 -- Accessibility of Machine Learning and Generative AI. -- taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:02:36 <JPaton> jasonjgw: There was an article about MCP and agents being used by Microsoft and similar reports that Apple will be taking these up
13:03:12 <JPaton> jasonjgw: the use cases could include AI agents accessing webpages on behalf of users
13:03:44 <JPaton> present+ Scott_H
13:05:01 <JPaton> janina: there is movement to try to canonise MCP within W3C
13:06:59 <JPaton> janina: The new Shell on Linux is now supporting MCP within the shell
13:07:27 <JPaton> janina: there a proposed TPAC session on this topic.
13:09:50 <JPaton> janina: I'm interested in the ability for this to democratise the creation of these little software automaton.
13:12:27 <JPaton> janina: It should enable people to find common parts of a webpage and navigate to them.
13:13:09 <JPaton> jasonjgw: We need to carve out a section of the document for these topics.
13:14:20 <JPaton> jasonjgw An agent working on your behalf could perform a task on your behalf to increase the accessibility.
13:14:38 <JPaton> janina Has anyone heard of any of these tool s considring accessibility?
13:15:16 <JPaton> jasonjgw: only in terms of where they're providing accessibility. Automated captions etc.
13:17:05 <JPaton> janina: Using a university as an analogy we seem to have accessibility to all the specialist disability services but to none of the other buildings and courses.
13:18:13 <JPaton> jasonjgw: In terms of generating media content you would need to AI to create the accessibility metadata to that as well.
13:19:18 <JPaton> janina: If an AI is generating a video of people talking then it should be generating the captions as well. If it is then those captions should be pretty good but is it happening.
13:19:54 <JPaton> janina: If it's not happening then it's premature to ask about the quality of them.
13:20:54 <JPaton> jasonjgw: Not as far as I've heard.
13:22:57 <JPaton> There are 9 accessibility related presentations proposed in the breakouts.

13:24:48 <JPaton> janina: a document has been forwarded to APA for review which sounds like a meeting RQTF has a while back about legislation in the EU about digital video broadcasting.
13:26:21 <JPaton> janina: We did have a meeting and we did minute it so I want to review the minutes of that meeting first.
