The week of November 3-11, 2025, brought many announcements about AI agents and agentic AI across different industries. However, there was only limited news specifically about accessibility and inclusion for these new technologies. One key message that stood out was that organizations building AI tools need to think about accessibility from the very beginning. This means making sure AI agents work for people all over the world, in different languages, and in ways that everyone can use.

One important point is that AI agents should help people, not replace them. This is especially important for accessibility. When AI agents are designed to work with humans instead of taking over their jobs, more people can benefit from the technology. For example, companies are building AI agents that help professionals like lawyers and accountants do their work faster. These tools are meant to handle boring, repetitive tasks so humans can focus on more important decisions.

Another big part of accessibility is trust and understanding. If people don't understand how AI agents make decisions, they won't trust them. One company, Ataccama, created an AI agent that explains what it is doing step by step. This kind of transparency helps people understand the technology and feel comfortable using it. In the pharmaceutical industry, one expert said companies should start with simpler AI before moving to more complex AI agents. This shows that a gradual approach helps people learn and adapt to new technologies.

Across the world, big technology companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Salesforce are all building platforms for AI agents. These platforms are like marketplaces where people can find and use different AI agents. For these marketplaces to be truly accessible, they need to include agents from many different companies and backgrounds. This diversity helps make sure the tools work for different industries and different types of people. For example, Salesforce is encouraging partners to build AI agents for specific industries, which means AI agents can be customized for different needs.

In the United States, Franklin Templeton, a big investment company, is using AI agents to help with research and operations. They are being very careful to make sure the AI agents follow rules and are governed properly. This kind of responsible approach helps protect people and makes the technology safer for everyone to use. Additionally, in medical research, UT Southwestern Medical Center is using new AI infrastructure to support doctors and researchers. This shows how AI agents can help in healthcare, but only if they are built with care and proper safeguards.

The overall picture is that while many companies are excited about AI agents, there is still much work to do on accessibility and inclusion. The technology is moving very fast, with new announcements every day. For this technology to help everyone, not just big companies, organizations need to remember to build inclusivity and accessibility into their AI agents from the start. This week's news showed that some companies are thinking about this, but it is not yet the main focus for most AI agent development.
