Digital Accessibility In An AI World

Published on: 23rd February, 2026

Digital Accessibility In An AI World — 2026

As a podcast host exploring the intersection of humanity and technology, I keep asking: Are we really including everyone in our digital transformation?

Dr. Michele A. Williams — UX and Accessibility Consultant, author of Accessible UX Research (Smashing Magazine) — challenges us to move beyond checklists and design with, not for, disabled users.

Now live on The Briefing: Dr. Michele A. Williams joins Dr. Tuboise Floyd to break down how to make digital accessibility work in an AI world.

Accessibility is not just about digital spaces. Accessibility is about fundamental human rights.

What leaders and operators need to know:

✓ How to spot invisible exclusion in UX research and code

✓ Moving beyond compliance checklists to build truly inclusive systems

✓ Using AI for captions and alt text without creating new barriers

✓ The 90-day accessibility baseline your team can sustain

Because real inclusion means ensuring everyone has access to the places and systems they need — whether digital or physical.

Nothing about us without us.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Briefing with Dr. Tuboise Floyd

The Briefing is for leaders who build, approve, procure, govern, or certify consequential technology.

Hosted by Dr. Tuboise Floyd, Founder and Principal, Decision Assurance at Human Signal, the show examines the operating reality beneath technology strategy: decision authority, accountability, controls, evidence, critical infrastructure, and the conditions that produce institutional failure.

The market is crowded with technology noise, checklists, and compliance theater. The Briefing focuses on the harder question:

What governance infrastructure must exist before autonomous and emerging systems create exposure that leadership cannot explain, defend, or control?

Episodes use Human Signal’s TAIMScore™, GASP™ Diagnostic, L.E.A.C. Protocol™, and Failure Files™ approaches to examine real-world failures, identify structural risk, and surface the decisions leaders must make before scrutiny arrives.

Produced with Creative Director Jeremy Jarvis, The Briefing covers AI governance, cyber risk, post-quantum readiness, critical infrastructure, government contracting, and the builder economy.
