For the first time in six years, web accessibility is declining despite the boom in AI-assisted development. Although teams are confident that their AI-generated code is accessible, benchmarks show a nearly 100% failure rate in compliance. This talk addresses the tension between rapid innovation and new regulations in the EU and the U.S. We analyze data from 200 engineering leaders to highlight critical gaps in validation and trust. Learn how to turn accessibility debt into a competitive advantage by validating your code.
