AI for the 96%: Closing the Web Accessibility Gap (How Businesses Can Turn Compliance into Competitive Advantage)
Ninety-six percent of the internet is still inaccessible to people with disabilities, costing businesses billions in lost opportunities. At Incskill, we built AI-powered remediation tools that scan, understand, and fix accessibility issues in real time — helping enterprises meet global compliance standards while unlocking a $1.9 trillion underserved market.
In this talk, I’ll share how to design AI systems that work in high-stakes, real-world environments, lessons from scaling a Techstars-backed startup, and why accessibility should be seen as a core growth strategy, not just a legal requirement.
