Using AI tools to generate alt text may provide basic descriptions, but they often fail to convey the image's purpose effectively, risking accessibility compliance.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) mandate that all non-text content must feature a text alternative that serves an equivalent purpose, ensuring all users have equal access.
Alt text should be meaningful, conveying essential information about the image instead of simply checking a box, which doesn't guarantee accessibility and compliance with standards.
When implementing alt text, understanding its importance ensures that screen readers provide meaningful descriptions, allowing users with disabilities to interpret digital content equivalently to sighted users.
