Cognitive Inclusion, AI, Accessibility Engineering, ComplianceAbstract
This paper will analyze how accessibility engineering is changing to become less compliance based in its design to cognitive inclusion wherein systems become cognizant and receptive to the mental and emotional needs of users. It compares the performance and satisfaction of a user with AI personalization, voice navigation, and predictive assistance (through a simulation-based approach). The results indicate that AI-based systems are time-saving, reduce the number of errors and mental load, as well as raise satisfaction and stability
