Our discussion centered around Joe's perspective on the convergence of AI and accessibility, recognizing its potential to enhance inclusivity while acknowledging the inherent risks involved. We also delved into the origins of GAAD, exploring Joe's invaluable insights gleaned from the initiative, as well as his ongoing endeavors. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of expanding the definition of accessibility to foster inclusivity beyond the disabled community, as it brings benefits to a broader range of individuals.
