We’ve tried. OpenAI, the organization behind ChatGPT, has not publicly released a VPAT or ACR for their AI models. This absence makes it difficult to assess their compliance with accessibility standards like WCAG 2.1 AA.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>Regarding testing ChatGPT for accessibility, there have been informal evaluations by individual users and organizations. Users have noted that while ChatGPT's interface is relatively straightforward, it does not always fully support screen readers or other assistive technologies, posing challenges for users with disabilities. But again, this information is sparse, vague and not well documented. And, the interface keeps changing. Most recently with the new Canvas feature.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>As for generative AI tools built with accessibility from their inception, there is limited information available. Most AI development has prioritized functionality and performance, with accessibility considerations often addressed afterward. We might consider Be My Eyes or Aira in this case, but their functionality was built on top of these same base models.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>The new advanced voice mode for ChatGPT definitely goes a long way towards accessibility, especially for persons who are blind or low vision. Albeit indirectly. But that does not eliminate the need for the web interface to be fully accessible as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p>
