Abstract

Introduction: This research aims to analyze some assistive technologies, including artificial intelligence, to make art more accessible to people with disabilities. The aim of the paper is to redefine the role of AI and how it can transform the experience of enjoying art, making previously inaccessible works accessible to a wider audience. Methodology: Qualitative review of both updated academic sources and interviews conducted with some industry experts to assess the different benefits that artificial intelligence can bring to the world of disability. Results and discussion: The data confirm the existence of innovative systems, capable of making a difference for those experiencing a certain type of diversity, but also highlight their lack of implementation by many agencies and associations that continue to hinder equality and inclusion for spurious economic interests. Conclusions: There is a dual scenario in which both tools that facilitate the creation and enjoyment of art and political and economic difficulties that slow down the advancement of these technologies of undoubted value coexist.
