==Remediating inaccessible websites== Once an accessibility audit has been conducted, and accessibility errors have been identified, the errors will need to be remediated in order to ensure the site is compliant with accessibility errors. The traditional way of correcting an inaccessible site is to go back into the source code, reprogram the error, and then test to make sure the bug was fixed. If the website is not scheduled to be revised in the near future, that error (and others) would remain on the site for a lengthy period of time, possibly violating accessibility guidelines. Because this is a complicated process, many website owners choose to build accessibility into a new site design or re-launch, as it can be more efficient to develop the site to comply with accessibility guidelines, rather than to remediate errors later. With the progress in [[AI]] technology, web accessibility has become more accessible. With 3rd party add-ons that leverage AI and [[machine learning]], it is possible to offer changes to the [[website design]] without altering the source code. This way, a website can be accessible to different types of users without the need to adjust the website for every accessibility equipment.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/ai-for-accessibility|title=Ai for Accessibility|date=13 March 2020|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|access-date=13 March 2020|archive-date=10 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200310100401/https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/ai-for-accessibility/|url-status=live}}</ref>
