Creating a more inclusive, connected world with AI

AI is making remarkable strides in translation and accessibility, breaking down language barriers and empowering people with disabilities to participate more fully in the digital world.

At Web Summit Lisbon, Apple’s Head of Accessibility, Sarah Herrlinger, highlighted AI’s role in improving the lives of people with disabilities. Innovations like Eye Tracking, Sound Recognition, and Apple Watch’s AssistiveTouch demonstrate Apple’s commitment to inclusivity, reinforcing the belief that  “the best technology works for everyone.”

We’ve also started to explore how AI can make a difference in our own communities. Through real-time translation, visual and audio descriptions, cross-cultural communication, and more, AI is opening new doors for accessibility. Learn how these advancements are leading to a more inclusive future below.

Pausing to reconnect

As we celebrate advances in accessibility and inclusivity, it’s important to remember the human connections that make them possible. At our annual retreat, we took time to pause and reconnect as a team, sharing ideas and reflecting to ensure that our focus wasn’t just on the technology, but on the impact it has on people’s lives.
