AI will Eliminate the Need for Accessibility Professionals? I think not. A robotic hand puts a note saying “You’re fired” into a human hand Every day, there are more articles about AI replacing people in tech. Accessibility...

AI can help with accessibility, but it cannot replace human expertise. Accessibility pros bring empathy, judgment, and context that machines cannot replicate.

The Accessibility Manager Moment No One Warns You About The demand letter/lawsuit lands first. The questions come next. “Why didn’t anyone tell me?” one or more of the CEO / COO / CFO / Corporate Counsel asks, genuinely surprised. If you work in accessibility leadership, you already know the answer. You told them about the website’s/product’s accessibility problems, likely multiple times. You documented the risks, flagged the exposures, and asked for time, budget, or prioritization to address them. What you did not get was their agreement to solve the problem.

Every accessibility manager hits a moment no one warned them about. Sheri Byrne-Haber explains why leadership, trust, and influence matter as much as technical skill.

Sheri Byrne-Haber reminds us that when searches return nothing, silence isn’t golden, it’s exclusion. Every search needs an announced empty state.
