About this episode
Episode Description
Artificial intelligence is changing how websites are built, searched, and experienced. But is it actually making the internet more accessible?
Evan talks with accessibility specialist Ela Gorla from TetraLogical about the benefits and risks of using AI in web accessibility. They discuss AI-generated image descriptions, automatic captions, accessible coding, and why developers must give AI clear instructions instead of assuming it will produce accessible results automatically.
Ela also explains how poorly trained AI could repeat the accessibility failures already found across the web—and what companies can do to create a more accessible digital future.
