We suggest that the MU-Lab tool provides a cross-disability accessibility evaluation rather than a universal usability evaluation in that our focus is on performing a usability analysis primarily for the parts of an activity (or task sequence) where access is difficult or impossible for any user. In other words, we prioritize the task analysis based on identification of difficult or impossible access barriers. We further consider the importance of the subtask or design feature associated with the access barrier. From this perspective, universal usability is a subset of the accessibility domain because it considers the needs of all users, with accessibility considering the role of assistive technologies in helping provide access, and also access through device options or multimodal interfaces.

Universal usability is tightly coupled with universal accessibility, aiming at successful usage of technology by the majority of the population (Shneiderman, 2000). This addresses the needs of all potential users, independently of their variable or invariable characteristics, as well as the technological and overall context, but also brings to the forefront the issue of usability (Lazar, 2007). But what does usability mean and what does it encompass in AI-enabled systems and environments?
