DESCRIPTION
Generative AI offers the promise of large-scale web accessibility, yet its automated image descriptions often fall short in accuracy, context, and equity. This session explores AI's dual role as a powerful but imperfect alt text author, examining its strengths and weaknesses. We will present solutions for building resilient workflows through Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) strategies, moving beyond simple error correction to cultivate a virtuous alt text cycle where expert human input informs adaptive, context-aware AI. Join us to critically evaluate the AI-generated description process, champion quality-focused alt text solutions, and understand how integrating AI into your workflow—rather than replacing it—is essential for truly effective alt text outcomes.
