AI can generate code in seconds that would normally take hours, but speed does not always mean quality. As developers, we rely on AI more and more in our workflows, yet accessibility and inclusivity often fall behind. AI mirrors our own biases and tends to repeat outdated coding patterns instead of modern, accessible solutions.

In this talk, we'll explore the accessibility gaps in AI-generated code and learn practical ways to improve accessibility issues, prompt AI tools for more inclusive results and balance efficiency with responsibility to build a product that can be used by everyone.

By the end, you will see how AI can accelerate development workflows while keeping inclusivity at the forefront.
