AI and PDF Accessibility

Unlocking the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Inclusive Documents

Session description

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the field of digital accessibility—but what does this mean for one of the most stubborn formats: PDF?

This session offers a compelling introduction to the broader potential of AI in creating more inclusive digital experiences and then dives into the specific opportunities (and challenges) of using AI to automate and enhance PDF accessibility.

From intelligent tagging to semantic structure detection and alt-text generation, we’ll explore how AI is reshaping workflows, reducing costs, and helping organizations meet legal standards at scale. Join us to discover what’s possible today, what’s just around the corner, and why human insight still matters.
