### Short Description / Scope

This hands-on session, led by a Senior Product Manager, demonstrates how Generative AI can accelerate product-led accessibility innovation. We’ll build awareness of web accessibility, global laws and standards (WCAG, ADA, EAA, and regional variants), and highlight why accessibility matters for diverse user personas with disabilities. Using real-world B2B and B2C examples, we’ll unpack product accessibility practices, cross-team prioritization challenges, and practical automation opportunities.
You’ll see where AI adds value—scanning sites for compliance gaps, mapping findings to WCAG and legal frameworks, prioritizing remediation, and even auto-suggesting fixes for integration into CI/CD pipelines. A live demo will showcase how a product manager can rapidly prototype accessibility tooling using modern coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, Lovable), followed by a roadmap of adoption considerations.
Who should attend: Product managers, UX designers, engineers, accessibility leads, and PM partners keen to integrate GenAI into accessibility workflows and ofcourse Data Scientists, programmers and gen ai enthusiasts and developers.
Key takeaways:

• Clear understanding of the accessibility landscape and user needs
• A practical framework for cross-team prioritization and stakeholder alignment
• Use cases and ROI for automation in accessibility testing and remediation
• Live prototype demo: GenAI-assisted scanning, WCAG/regulation mapping, legal filtering, and remediation suggestions, with next-step possibilities for CI/CD integration
