Grateful to everyone who joined us for the 16th annual Microsoft Ability Summit this morning. Your voices, ideas, and partnership continue to push this work forward. As we head into GAAD, I’m excited, AI is creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make accessibility truly foundational. But it won’t happen by default. It happens because of this community showing up and building together. Proud to share what we announced and where we’re headed next.
