GenAI Accessibility(also: Generative AI Accessibility)

The design and implementation of generative AI tools—including large language model chatbots, AI image describers, and multimodal AI systems—so they can be fully and equitably used by people with disabilities. While text-based GenAI interfaces appear superficially accessible,…

Gender recognition(also: Automatic gender recognition, AGR, Gender classification)

AI technology that attempts to infer a person's gender from visual features such as facial characteristics, body shape, or voice. Gender recognition systems are controversial in accessibility contexts because they typically enforce binary gender classifications, frequently…

Generative AI(also: GenAI, Generative Artificial Intelligence)

Artificial intelligence systems that can create new content — including text, images, audio, video, and code — based on patterns learned from training data. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion have significant implications for…

Generative Adversarial Network(also: GAN, Adversarial Network)

A type of deep learning architecture consisting of two neural networks — a generator and a discriminator — that are trained in competition with each other. The generator creates synthetic data (such as images) while the discriminator tries to distinguish between real and…

Gloss(also: Sign Gloss, Gloss Notation)

A form of transliteration used in sign language research where written words from a spoken language (typically the dominant spoken language of the region, such as English) are used as labels to represent individual signs. Glosses are written in capital letters by convention…

Grad-CAM(also: Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping)

A widely used explainable AI technique, introduced by Selvaraju et al. in 2017, that produces a class-discriminative heat map over an input image by weighting convolutional feature maps by the gradient of the target class score. Grad-CAM and its variants (SmoothGrad-CAM,…

Guide-by-Pointing(also: Point-and-Ask, Hand-Guided Visual Query)

A prompting technique for multimodal AI assistants where a user extends their hand into the camera's field of view and asks the AI to identify what they are pointing at, or to provide spatial directions for moving their hand toward a specific item. This technique enables blind…
