Artificial intelligence (AI) is here today and can make it easier to do the right things when building web and mobile applications. Large language models and the coding tools built around them (Github, Amazon Code Whisperer) have made creating code faster than ever. However, because the majority of the code used to train these models is itself inaccessible, the code completions they provide are most often inaccessible.

The good news when it comes to accessibility is that there are important techniques to get around this problem. Come learn how it's easier than ever to build web and mobile experiences the right way from the start.

PRESENTER
Kevin Berg is Vice President of Solutions Engineering at Evinced, where he is dedicated to helping large enterprises improve and accelerate their digital accessibility efforts. Kevin initially trained as a classical musician at the University of Cincinnati and the University of Texas, where he received his doctorate.

He spent six years at Sauce Labs, a leading functional test automation platform, where he ultimately led global solutions engineering before joining Evinced in a similar role. When he's not helping Evinced clients with challenges, Kevin is at home in Montana, making stuff (he's an amateur machinist), playing his oboe, and enjoying family life with his wife and two children.
