Poor digital accessibility affects over 2 billion people—yet it’s still treated like an afterthought in tech. In this episode of Unbox Your Curiosity, host Christiane Zhao unpacks why accessibility is fundamental to innovation, user experience, and future-proof business strategy. From screen readers to haptic feedback, from universal design to AI-driven inclusion, we break down the real impact with the help of an AI research guest, powered by Google Gemini and trained on 30+ expert sources.

We’ll explore:

– What accessibility really means (beyond disability)

– Why ignoring it is a billion-dollar mistake

– The promises and pitfalls of AI in this space
