AI-Generated Websites Are Creating New Accessibility Barriers
Source: Search Engine Land
As companies deploy generative AI to automate web design and copywriting, they're encoding accessibility failures into the production pipeline. AI models trained on existing web content inherit the same WCAG violations and lazy practices those sources contained, then scale them across thousands of new pages simultaneously. AudioEye's data shows AI-generated code and alt text frequently miss basic accessibility standards, meaning businesses using these tools to accelerate time-to-market are inadvertently locking out disabled users at volume while exposing themselves to ADA litigation risk.
