However, many \u201ceasy&#8221; fixes still take time to implement, particularly when humans need to be involved.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Web Content Accessibility Guidelines\u00a0(WCAG) function as the international standards of digital accessibility. WCAG includes a number of requirements that require a subjective approach, which can create busywork for developers, designers, and writers.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WCAG requires text alternatives (alt text) for images and other non-text content. Writing alt text takes a few seconds, but if you\u2019re operating a large eCommerce site with thousands of images, you may need to spend days or weeks adding alt text.<\/li>\n<li>WCAG requires captions and transcripts for video content. If you don\u2019t plan for those features when drafting your videos, you\u2019ll need to write them after-the-fact \u2014 and on a lengthy video, that\u2019s a time-consuming process.<\/li>\n<li>WCAG requires content to maintain an\u00a0appropriate color contrast ratio. Adjusting your website\u2019s CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) isn\u2019t especially difficult, but on a complex website, designers may need to spend hours adjusting each element.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generative A.I. may be able to address these challenges.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Also relevant\/see:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boia.org\/blog\/how-accessibility-can-help-you-grow-your-web-design-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>How Accessibility Can Help You Grow Your Web Design Business<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from boia.org<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boia.org\/blog\/worried-about-web-accessibility-lawsuits-start-here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Worried About Web Accessibility Lawsuits?
