Artificial intelligence is reshaping accessibility work, from automated testing to faster content checks. But AI alone can’t guarantee inclusion. This session explores the balance between automation and human leadership. Attendees will see how AI can accelerate testing and reporting, where it introduces risk, and when human strengths like empathy and judgment are essential. Live demonstrations and real-world use cases will highlight how teams can pair AI tools with human oversight to save time without sacrificing quality. Attendees will leave with a framework for responsibly integrating AI into accessibility strategies while preserving the human role at the center of inclusion.
