Inclusive by Design: Exploring GenAI and Accessibility
Who are we?
Higher education in Denmark, passionate about developing and delivering education programmes that work in the real world, creating value for both companies and people.
Within the programmes we combine theory with practical skills, based around cases and projects, in collaboration with the business world.
Description of the project
In this project, students will explore the potential of Generative AI (GenAI) to enhance accessibility and inclusivity through Universal Design. The project will centre on a realistic case of improving digital products and services so that they can adapt to diverse user needs, such as dyslexia, low vision, cognitive challenges, or language barriers.
The key challenge is to design and prototype digital experiences that demonstrate how GenAI can be applied to support Universal Design, making digital interfaces more usable for everyone, regardless of ability or background.
Can GenAI effectively be utilised to generate accessibility-friendly variations of digital products and interfaces, enabling companies and organisations to create more inclusive solutions that reach a broader global audience?
Students will work in interdisciplinary and intercultural groups to design prototypes that showcase GenAI-enabled accessibility features. In addition, they will conduct an analysis of the potential impact of such solutions in international contexts, evaluating cultural and user-specific accessibility needs.
Goal of the project
The project stakeholders seek your insights into the potential of Generative AI to support Universal Design and accessibility in digital products. They also require an assessment of the benefits, limitations, and cultural considerations involved in implementing GenAI-driven accessibility features across international markets.
