The ADA’s effective communication standard requires:
→ Interpreter qualified for the context
→ Accommodation matched to the interaction
→ Consumer input on what works for them
Most organizations are 0 for 3. 😱
Handing a Deaf patient a phone with video relay for a 90-minute medical consultation isn’t accommodation.
It might be an ADA violation.
Know the difference.
Most organizations think providing an interpreter = ADA compliance.
The law actually requires “effective communication.”
That’s a completely different standard. And most organizations don’t know they’re failing it.
Tomorrow starts today. PI joins founding cooperative members at #SLxAI2026 in Boston. Governance. Benchmarks. Ethics. Standards. The accessibility and AI space is about to have a very important conversation. We'll be in it.
Tomorrow the inaugural #SLxAI2026 Summit begins right here in Boston. PI is proud, ready, and showing up with clear questions and a clear mission. Follow along! Live updates start tomorrow.
The inaugural #SLxAI2026 Summit is 3 days away. First-ever cooperative of sign language AI leaders. PI is a founding member. If you're following the accessibility and AI space... this is the one to watch 👀.
3 days until #SLxAI2026. PI will be contributing to governance frameworks, technical benchmarks, and ethics standards for sign language AI. Not just attending, we're building.
3 days out. The questions are ready. PI joins #SLxAI2026 in Boston ready to ask: who is this technology actually for, and who's accountable when it falls short?
There's a difference between AI that serves the Deaf community and AI that looks like it does. PI is joining #SLxAI2026 in 5 days to help make sure that difference is measurable, accountable, and enforceable.
5 days until #SLxAI2026. PI is joining the summit to help answer one big question: how do we make sure AI sign language tools genuinely enhance service and not just tick an accessibility box?
Accessibility isn't a checkbox. It's a commitment. And that commitment requires knowing enough to ask the right questions of your vendors. PI is going to #SLxAI2026 to learn and to share what we find.
The promise of sign language AI: real-time translation, accessible interactions, no scheduling delays. The part the demos skip: what happens when it gets it wrong in a medical or legal setting. Standards matter. #SLxAI2026
Most organizations can't tell the difference between an AI sign language tool that works and one that just looks like it works. That's a problem. #SLxAI2026 is building the benchmarks to close that gap. PI will be there.
The accessibility compliance landscape is shifting fast. AI sign language tools are being deployed before the standards to evaluate them exist. PI is attending #SLxAI2026 to help change that.
AI sign language tools are being built and deployed right now. The organizations using them are asking: is this actually accurate? Does it meet our compliance obligations? PI is attending #SLxAI2026 to help answer that.
3 reasons PI is attending #SLxAI2026:
Compliance — what AI sign language means for ADA.
Service — where AI helps and where it doesn't.
Collaboration — writing the standards that hold the industry accountable.
Why is an interpreting company going to an AI summit? Because someone needs to be in the room asking the hard questions about quality, accountability, and who this technology actually serves. That's us. #SLxAI2026
Big news: Partners Interpreting is attending the inaugural #SLxAI2026 Summit in Boston. Not just attending, but as founding cooperative member and founding sponsor. We're in the room where it happens. More soon.
