Accessibility as governance
In regulated environments, accessibility isn't a nice-to-have. It's a risk control, because exclusion becomes harm, complaints become investigations, and "we'll fix it later" becomes indefensible.
What this stream covers
- How accessibility failures become systemic discrimination
- Why AI makes accessibility non-optional (and harder to retrofit)
- Evidence you need: testing, results, remediation, governance records
- Delivery patterns that stop accessibility being sidelined

AI interfaces and decision systems can exclude people with disability long before anyone notices. That's why this work sits in governance, not just "UI polish".
If you're shipping AI
Treat accessibility as a non-functional requirement with governance weight: clear acceptance criteria, testing evidence, and “stop the line” authority when it fails.
