# Vibe Coding Accessibility


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

This session explores how today’s most powerful AI-based coding tools are shaping the future of accessible technology. With tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and other AI code assistants becoming mainstream, developers face both new opportunities and new risks. This session will provide a candid overview of the leading AI coding platforms and evaluate how well they support accessibility—from generating accessible code patterns to avoiding common pitfalls that exclude users with disabilities. We’ll also discuss their role in remediation: Can AI help fix inaccessible code, or does it introduce new challenges? To ground the discussion, we’ll showcase real-world examples of accessible web and native mobile products built with the help of AI tools. Attendees will walk away with practical insights on what AI coding tools can (and can’t) do today, best practices for ensuring accessible outcomes, and a vision for how accessibility professionals and developers can “vibe” with AI to build more inclusive digital experiences.
