Check out this conversation between Deque CEO Preety Kumar and Microsoft Chief Accessibility Officer, Jenny Lay-Flurrie, as they discuss their shared vision for digital accessibility in 2026 and explore the long-standing partnership between the two organizations.

Key takeaways:
1. Accuracy is non-negotiable: The speed of technology and AI demands a new approach. They discuss how a focus on accuracy—eliminating "false positives" in tools like Axe-core—is non-negotiable for securing developer trust and ensuring their time is "used on the right things."

2. Born-accessible code is the goal: The ultimate dream is that “code is born accessible” from the get-go by plugging into agentic coding systems. But this requires "great data," emphasizing that AI is "not a magic button."

3. The EAA can make accessibility the default: Both are optimistic about increased action spurred by the European Accessibility Act, hoping its global impact will make accessibility the default.
