Abstract
This study assesses the web accessibility of portals from the Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index (ILIA) countries, emphasizing the digital inclusion of users with disabilities. Using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) as a reference point, the study focuses on the four principles of accessibility: perceptibility, operability, comprehensibility, and robustness. The results show that 43.20 % of the sites met the (minimum) contrast requirements, and 26.48 % met the navigability W3C recommendations. Chile (ranked first, score 73.07) presented 15 contrast issues and six errors overall, demonstrating a firm adherence to accessibility. Brazil (ranked second, with a score of 69.30) showed six contrast issues and eight errors, indicating a solid performance. However, Cuba and Venezuela had significant problems, with 25 and 34 errors, respectively. In contrast, Uruguay ranked high with no errors in contrast and perceptibility, highlighting its leadership in web accessibility in the region. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and developers looking to improve accessibility and digital inclusion across Latin America's digital infrastructure.
