[Athen] ChatGPT accessibility

[Hayward, Elizabeth via athen-list]

As a tool for accessibility, ChatGPT has a lot of opportunities. Thanks for the reference to its alt text feature, Tamara.

Gian, we’ve not yet been successful locating ANY accessibility information (VPAT/ACR) on generative AI platforms like ChatGPT.

Would love to know if anyone has tested ChatGPT for accessibility or has access to vendor VPAT/Accessibility Conformance Reports for any of them.

Has anyone here encountered any GenAI tools that were “built accessible” from their inception -- whose design/development teams actively focused on accessible/WCAG 2.1AA-compliant user interactions? Any gen AI vendors who have published accessibility statements?

Following this thread with interest.

Has an awesome alternative text feature for photos and graphs, etc. I’ve used it for that recently. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-bqbZtTpHb-alt-text-generator-assistant<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/chatgpt.com/g/g-bqbZtTpHb-alt-text-generator-assistant__;!!BeImMA!6f4w2S57ptMprxhuFNa_CVVFuQwwd2IAq1lv9rqT3D2MP8DiXFuDuC8rraDVfT6WLns7lSp6n1OGJSFNx6SuaG-xnItKOGs$>

Does anyone use ChatGPT, perplexity or other generative AI tools in providing accessibility or determining accessibility for students with disabilities?

Hi ATHEN

Does anyone have any experience with the accessibility of ChatGPT, or been able to find a VPAT?

Thanks!
