UPDATE: AI-Media has just launched a critical initiative to help public entities across the United States comply with the newly finalized ADA Title II digital accessibility requirements. This announcement comes as state and local governments face urgent deadlines beginning April 24, 2026, for larger jurisdictions.
The U.S. Department of Justice’s new regulations mandate that all public entities meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across their digital platforms, including websites, mobile apps, and multimedia content. This compliance is essential for ensuring that services are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.
AI-Media, based in New York, is stepping up to equip these organizations with necessary tools as they prepare for these significant changes. The deadlines for compliance vary based on population size, with larger entities required to comply by April 24, 2026, while smaller jurisdictions must meet the standards by April 26, 2027.
“Public entities are facing one of the most significant accessibility transitions in decades,” said Tony Abrahams, Co-founder & CEO of AI-Media. “The new ADA Title II rule sets clear expectations for digital accessibility, and our mission is to equip governments with AI-powered tools that deliver compliance simply, affordably, and at scale.”
To support these efforts, AI-Media has unveiled a comprehensive 10-Point ADA Title II Compliance Checklist and highlighted two flagship technologies: LEXI Text and LEXI AD. LEXI Text provides AI-powered captioning and transcription for live and prerecorded content, ensuring that agencies can meet the stringent captioning and transcript requirements efficiently. Meanwhile, LEXI AD offers advanced customization options for audio descriptions, crucial for meeting accessibility standards in prerecorded video.
As part of this initiative, AI-Media will also host a national educational webinar titled “ADA Title II: Compliance Made Simple with AI” on January 20, 2026. This session will cover the accessibility requirements outlined in WCAG 2.1 AA and demonstrate how AI-driven solutions like LEXI Text and LEXI AD can facilitate compliance. Registration details for the webinar can be found here.
“As agencies prepare for the new ADA Title II deadlines, they’re looking for scalable, cost-effective ways to deliver accessible digital services,” added Abrahams. “LEXI Text and LEXI AD provide exactly that.”
AI-Media’s initiative underscores the urgency for public entities to adopt accessible technologies before the compliance deadlines. The implications of these regulations are significant, as they aim to ensure that all citizens have equal access to government services.

As the landscape of digital accessibility evolves, AI-Media is positioning itself as a vital partner for governments striving to meet the new accessibility standards, ultimately enhancing the quality of digital services for millions of citizens.
