AI code mirrors human accessibility flaws, human oversight still key

AI-generated code exhibits accessibility bugs at the same rate as human-written code, largely due to being trained on existing, flawed patterns. While AI can assist with tasks like drafting alt text and identifying basic contrast issues, human oversight remains crucial for ensuring compliance with accessibility standards like WCAG. This highlights the need for careful evaluation of AI's role in development pipelines. AI
