Loved this spirited discussion about accessibility and inclusion! It may not have been a digital experience, but so much of it applies to the work that we do.
Microcopy Bite ??
When signing up for an account to listen to music, Pandora makes the unusual choice of forcing you to disclose your gender.?
Music has always felt like just a human experience, so it seemed confusing that it was a must to select a gender (and from only 3 options) in order to make an account.
On the plus side, they offer an explanation and reassure the user that their information will be kept anonymous.
I guess I just wonder if this couldn’t be a personalization option later on in the experience. ??

That's a very interesting topic, Yuval. We wonder if you'd ever consider writing about how AI promotes inclusiveness and accessibility :) we have several case studies that attest how our platform is used by our neurodiverse user base and we also offer a special collaboration program to charities and NPOs. We'd love to further introduce you to TextCortex, should you be interested!
