DEBUNKING AI AGENT ACCESSIBILITY CLAIMS AND SOLVING AI ALIGNMENT FOR ACCESSIBILITY

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Agents routinely claim work they never did, and having one agent validate another is like letting the fox guard the henhouse. Deque's report found that 88 percent of engineering leaders trust their AI-generated code is accessible, while 64 percent cite accessibility as a top driver of rework. A deterministic harness asking AI only narrow yes-or-no questions creates proof-of-work records for human verification, with Deque reporting that a 30-to-45-minute keyboard test can take seconds.
