In today's technology-driven world, artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) are no longer futuristic concepts, but rather, they are rapidly becoming part of the fabric of everyday life. While these advancements offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation and progress, they also pose a risk of marginalizing certain communities, particularly those with disabilities. "Access Denied" shines a light on this hidden disability divide, exploring the complex interplay between technology, economics, and cultural attitudes that shape our digital landscape. Dr. Ivan Del Valle delves deep into the limitations of current AI systems in accommodating the diverse needs of users with disabilities. He examines the economic barriers that prevent many from accessing assistive technologies, the biases embedded within our digital infrastructure, and the urgent need for inclusive design practices and policy interventions. This book is not just a critique but a call to action. It challenges policymakers, technologists, and society as a whole to rethink our approach to innovation, ensuring that the digital future is one where everyone can participate fully and equally. Key topics explored: * The capabilities and limitations of AI in promoting accessibility * The impact of inaccessible digital infrastructures on social and economic participation * The economic barriers and policy challenges that hinder the adoption of assistive technologies * The role of cultural attitudes and intersectionality in shaping the disability divide * The importance of user-centered design and co-creation in developing inclusive technologies * The need for continuous monitoring, evaluation, and iterative improvement of accessibility standards "Access Denied" is an essential read for anyone concerned with creating a truly equitable and inclusive digital future.
