We want everyone to be able to read AI Observer, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or other assistive technology. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. If something does not work for you, tell us and we will fix it.
This statement applies to aiobserver.news.
What we do
- Every article uses headings in order, so screen reader users can move through it by section.
- Images that carry meaning have alt text, a short description read aloud by screen readers. Decorative images have empty alt text so they are skipped.
- Links describe where they go. We do not use “click here”.
- We write in plain language, in short paragraphs, and explain technical terms the first time they appear.
- We do not put text inside images, so all text can be read aloud, resized and translated.
- You should be able to zoom the page and change text size, colors and fonts in your browser settings.
How accessible this site is
WCAG 2.2 AA is our target, and we have not yet completed a formal accessibility audit. Some parts of the site may not fully meet the standard yet. These are the areas we expect to need the most work:
- embedded content from other websites, such as videos or social media posts, which we do not control
- documents we link to on other sites, such as PDFs from companies and regulators
- color contrast and keyboard focus on some interactive parts of the site, such as menus and the newsletter signup
When we find a problem, we fix it or list it here with a plan to fix it.
Feedback and contact
If you find a problem, or you need an article in another format, write to editors@aiobserver.news with “Accessibility” in the subject line. Please tell us:
- the page address
- what you were trying to do
- the device, browser and any assistive technology you use
We aim to reply within two working days.

About this statement
This statement was prepared on 30 October 2026. It is based on our own review of how the site is built, not an independent audit. We will review it at least once a year and after major changes to the site.
