Accessibility & Inclusion Weekly AI News
October 6 - October 14, 2025This weekly update brings exciting news about how AI agents are making the internet more accessible for everyone. Level Access, a company based in Virginia, USA, announced new AI-powered tools that help organizations find and fix accessibility problems faster than ever before.
These new tools work like smart helpers that can spot when websites or apps are hard to use for people with disabilities. The AI agents look for common problems, group similar issues together, and even suggest fixes to developers right where they work. This means fewer people will struggle to use websites because of accessibility barriers.
The company created these tools to solve three big challenges. First, many teams get overwhelmed by too much confusing information about accessibility problems. Second, fixing these problems takes too long because developers don't always know exactly what to do. Third, teams struggle to show their bosses that their accessibility work is making real progress.
The new AI agents help with all three problems through features organized into three groups: Find, Fix, and Prove. The "Find" features help teams discover problems earlier by grouping repeated issues and highlighting what changed since the last check. The "Fix" features give developers step-by-step instructions to repair problems and answer questions about accessibility using 25 years of expert knowledge. The "Prove" features create easy-to-understand reports that show leaders what got fixed and what still needs work.
Experts also discussed both the exciting possibilities and real concerns about AI in accessibility during a recent webinar. They talked about how AI could one day create custom interfaces for each person based on their specific needs. However, they also warned about risks like AI systems being tricked into sharing private information and the challenge of making sure AI treats everyone fairly when many companies still struggle with these issues themselves.
