What you need to know about the links between AI and Accessibility for 2026

In the year since our last webinar on AI & accessibility a lot has changed. AI technologies and tools are constantly developing, regulations for greater transparency and inclusion in how AIs are trained have arrived, every brand wants to get their content in AI summaries, and people are asking if making web content more accessible will help.

This webinar recording will tell you what you need to know in advance of 2026:

  • Tips for using AI to deliver content accessibility – the prompts you need to ensure accuracy and purpose in AI alt-text and audio description
  • How content accessibility can help get your brand into AI search results
  • The growing prevalence and impact of agentic AI on accessibility
  • Why ensuring AI is inclusive is key to delivering accessible experiences for everyone, and staying on the right side of AI legislation

If you’d like us to help you review how the AI-assisted coding tools, automated testing platforms, design assistants and agent-based development workflows you are using to accelerate product delivery impact on accessibility, check out our AI Tooling and Accessibility Development Masterclass.

What people said about this webinar:

“The presentation was excellent, as always. You and your team always put on a precise, concise, and exact presentation that is easy to follow and stay on point. If that wasn’t enough, they are short one-hour events, so one can take a small break and learn about something new in the industry.”
