Artificial Intelligence is changing the game, but it’s not a “set it and forget it” solution.
- The Power of AI: Modern AI tools can now predict image alt-text with surprising accuracy and scan thousands of pages for low-contrast issues in seconds.
- The Human Element: AI often misses the nuance. It might tell you an image has a description, but it won’t know if that description conveys the emotional intent of the page.
- The Catalyst Approach: Use AI for the “heavy lifting” (bulk scanning), but always keep a human in the loop for screen reader testing and keyboard navigation.
