This article mentions things like virtual signers - being able to have a computer-generated sign language translation for video content removes the barriers of finding someone who knows sign language and recording them as part of your video. If you can just add it to your video, why not?

We have developed a similar tool for Audio Description through Meet Aandi - a simple-to-use text to speech video remediation tool that automates captions and transcripts using neural voice for AD. No expensive editing tools or voice actors required. No excuses not to include AD in your video content.

'Future Tech' is nowhere near as far into the future as it once was, so why not find out how AI can help you bring your message to all sorts of people?
