I mean, I don't want it to do those things unless you find them USEFUL!

And of course the Section 508 website is not helpful. Sigh.

Section508.gov

Section508.gov is the official U.S. government resource for ensuring digital accessibility compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d). It offers comprehensive guidance, tools, and training to help federal agencies and vendors create accessible information and communication technology (ICT) for individuals with disabilities.

Maybe I should give an example:

Nicole Kobie, Microsoft: Get Used to Working with AI Powered “Digital Colleagues”, IT Pro (Apr. 29, 2025), available at: <https://www.itpro.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-get-used-to-working-with-ai-powered-digital-colleagues>.

(Don't rag on the formatting, it's an in-house style, and I didn't chose it.)

So you see, the info is already in the text, the URL will be a clickable link, and I'm assuming no one wants to listen to a URL, but I'm told it needs alt text to meet the accessibility guidelines our org is using.

IT Pro

Microsoft: get used to working with AI-powered "digital colleagues"

Tech giant's report suggests we should get ready to work with AI, revealing future trends for the workplace
