Headline and summary of a substack post by Jakob Nielsen. Title: Hello AI Agents: Goodbye UI Design, RIP Accessibility Date: Feb 21, 2025 Summary: Autonomous agents will transform user experience by automating interactions, making traditional UI design obsolete, as users stop visiting websites in favor of solely interacting through their agent. Focus on designing for agents, not humans. Accessibility will disappear as a concern for web design, as disabled users will only use an agent that transforms content and features to their specific needs.

Holy shit this is gross

Focus on designing for ai agents?? Disabled people will only use ai agents??

I’m so tired of all these design and accessibility “leaders” who don’t understand a damn thing about disabled people
