Accessibility & Inclusion Weekly AI News

August 11 - August 23, 2025

This weekly update brings important news about accessibility and inclusion in the world of AI agents. The biggest story comes from a company called Siteimprove, which launched new AI tools to help make websites more accessible for people with disabilities.

Siteimprove introduced something called Agentic Content Intelligence (ACI) on August 13th. This new technology uses AI agents to automatically check websites and fix accessibility problems. The company partnered with Amazon Web Services to make this happen, showing how big tech companies are working together to solve accessibility challenges.

One of the most exciting new features is Automated Reviews. These AI agents work like smart assistants that can spot real accessibility problems and ignore false alarms. This means that accessibility experts can spend their time fixing important issues instead of sorting through hundreds of minor problems.

Another helpful tool is Conversational Remediation. This AI agent talks to website developers and suggests ways to fix accessibility issues quickly. It learns from each website's design system and can even create work tickets for complex problems. This makes it easier for teams to fix accessibility issues faster and better.

The company also created an Image Analysis agent that helps make pictures on websites accessible to people who can't see them. This AI tool writes descriptions for images (called alt text) and finds text that might be hidden inside pictures. It makes sure all images follow accessibility rules across different websites and apps.

These new AI tools represent a big step forward for making the internet more accessible to everyone. By using smart agents to handle routine accessibility work, human experts can focus on solving more complex problems that really matter for user experience. This shows how AI agents are becoming powerful allies in creating a more inclusive digital world for people with disabilities.
