AI Accessibility Systems Have Operational Limits, New Framework Shows
A new research paper introduces the Accessibility Capability Boundary (ACB), a formal framework for analyzing the limits and expansion potential of AI-driven accessibility systems. The study argues that AI-generated, browser-native systems built as single-file HTML artifacts using standard browser APIs could push the ACB outward by reducing deployment latency, cognitive load, and infrastructure dependency. Accessibility is modeled as a dynamic, multidimensional capability space rather than a binary compliance property. Key constraints include interaction complexity, offline persistence, and adaptability. The paper grounds its theory in a real-world systems artifact and is published on arXiv (2605.19638).
