Becoming Frontier: Accessibility is the Next AI Advantage
summary
Enterprise cases and numbers: a Honeywell study of 300 employees finds 76% say AI/Copilot is critical, and Honeywell builds a Copilot bot to generate alt text for 3,500 image assets and used an agent to score 475 hackathon submissions; Gilead launches an internal Gilead Accessibility Agent next week to translate standards into plain‑language workflow checks; Zero Project deploys WhatsApp infobots and four AI initiatives across a 10,000‑person network; common challenges are hallucination, security/privacy approvals, scope creep, and the need to limit answers to build trust.
