### Supporting Information

This is the second edition of the Convergence conference which provides an opportunity to bring together innovative research on the evolving landscape of AI in the context of multilingual and accessible communication, reflecting on the complexity and effects of using AI-driven technologies in these fields. For the second edition of conference, we are inviting submission of full papers and we are planning to publish conference proceedings. We believe the ACL anthology would be an ideal venue to disseminate the papers as the conference will focus on themes such as the ethical aspects of AI in translation and interpreting, AI-enabled digital accessibility and societal inclusion, and the impact of Generative AI on language mediation.
