Prologue I’d prepared for this talk as a natural extension of the work I do every day, so I didn’t expect to be particularly nervous. But when I saw the list of other presenters ahead of time, I found myself wanting to do justice to the occasion — to make sure my talk held its own alongside theirs. Event poster — AI Accessibility Seminar: Accessibility for All. Date: Thursday, April 23, 2026, 10:00 AM – 12:20 PM. Venue: NIA Seoul Office, Basement Conference Room. Hosted by: Digital Accessibility Standardization Forum. Organized by: Universal Design Society. Event poster So I put together clean slides, wrote out a full script, ran through a few rehearsals — and headed to Seoul. The trip from Daegu isn’t exactly short, but I was in good spirits. There’s something about being needed, about being put to use, that makes you feel alive. ...

This post is a record of grappling with web accessibility, public web services, and the responsibilities of developers from direct, hands-on experience. Between law, technology, standards, and reality, I try to answer the question: “Are we really building for everyone?” In the previous post, we confirmed that the Digital Inclusion Act asks “what is usable?” Then this question remains: If AI is a system that makes decisions? If users can’t understand automated decisions? How do we distinguish between content created by generative AI? ...

Introduction I just returned from the AI Agent Scenario Competition Citizen Evaluation Panel held in Seoul. The panel consisted of expert judges and citizen evaluators, with the final scores reflecting both expert evaluation and citizen evaluation. Since the evaluation details are confidential, I can’t discuss individual teams or specific results. However, through this experience, I was able to clearly define what standards I use when evaluating AI public services. So in this post, rather than “how this team performed,” I want to record what questions I asked and why I thought those questions mattered. ...

Introduction Let me be honest — this choice is a losing deal on paper. I’m spending a whole day, paying for transportation out of my own pocket, and the compensation is only about $35 (50,000 KRW). Yet, I’m heading to Seoul tomorrow. I wanted to organize my reasons step by step. View from a train window - a journey to somewhere Photo: Dieter K / Unsplash The Evaluation Panel Offer and My Decision One day, while browsing the NIA (National Information Society Agency) website as usual, I discovered the Public Institution Website Citizen Evaluation Panel. Since then, I’ve been grateful to participate in the public web/app citizen evaluation activities for two years straight. The rewards and achievements may seem small, but the process and experience have been building up as personal assets. ...

Introduction We live in an age where generative AI like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini has become part of daily life. AI chatbots have established themselves on websites, and automated content generation has become commonplace. Amid this rapid technological advancement, we must ask an important question: “Is the web created by AI usable by everyone?” Web Accessibility means ensuring that everyone—people with disabilities, elderly users, those with slow network connections, and more—can use the web equally. In the AI era, or rather because it is the AI era, web accessibility has become even more critical. ...
