The Audience Nobody Saw
디즈니의 새 CEO가 감성적 스토리텔링을 강조하는 가운데, 장애인 접근성에 대한 주주는 개선 요구를 거부했다. 아마존 프라임 비디오는 고전 영화에 대해 AI 음성 합성 기반 오디오 설명(AD)을 제공하지만, 비영어권 영화나 일부 명작에는 AD가 없어 접근성 표준과 커뮤니티 참여가 부재함을 드러낸다. AI 음성 데이터 훈련에 사용된 인간 음성에 대한 동의 및 보상 체계가 마련되지 않은 상황에서, AI 음성 복제 관련 법적 분쟁은 유명인 중심으로만 진행되고 있다. 이는 AI 접근성 도구 개발과 문화 콘텐츠 접근성에 있어 구조적 배제와 불평등 문제를 시사한다.

My sighted friends are listening to movies and TV shows on their jogs and stuff with audio description enabled. They're also wondering why more open audio described screenings don't exist more. I also never noticed how helpful audio description was to sighted NT friends on the spectrum, either!

And this podcast has public domain audio described films and TV shows, and is still ongoing!.

Liz Gutman at Descriptive Video Works is running a short survey for audio description users to expand their audience feedback strategy. She says: "[the survey] is just four questions, and any demographic information you share will be anonymous. At the end, you can include your email address if you'd like to get updates on our work, and be considered for participation in future AD-related surveys and panels."
The purpose of this form is to gather some information on audiences who use Audio Description. It is only a few questions and will take a minute or two of your time. Any demographic information you share will be anonymous. If you would like us to contact you about potential future research panels and surveys, please provide your email at the end of the survey.
