Some alt text descriptions in this publication were generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. Images were analyzed using Microsoft Azure Cognitive services, and the resulting visual data was used to prompt a large language model (ChatGPT 5.2) to draft descriptive alt text. These tools are used solely to support accessibility by producing non-interpretive descriptions of visual content, following established editorial guidelines. Sample results of AI-assisted alt text have been reviewed and, when necessary, edited by staff prior to publication to ensure accuracy, clarity, and alignment with institutional standards.
