On February 3, La Vanguardia published an interview with Daniel Guasch, a member of the HumanAI team, in which he reflects on the challenges of universal accessibility and the role of emerging technologies in promoting social inclusion. The article highlights the importance of understanding accessibility in a broad and integrated way—especially in areas such as Artificial Intelligence.

In the interview, Guasch mentions the HumanAI project, underscoring its relevance in addressing critical issues posed by generative AI: “Artificial intelligence can be a great opportunity, but it can also create new forms of exclusion,” Guasch warns. “If we design systems only for standard profiles, we leave many people out. Our goal is for AI to adapt to the user, not the other way around, and to support autonomy, not replace it.”

The mention of HumanAI in a major media outlet like La Vanguardia reinforces the social and scientific relevance of our work and highlights the need to place accessibility at the center of AI design.
