When AI and Disability Rights Collide: A New Frontier in Workplace Accommodation 🤖♿

This article is about accessibility and AI tools in the workplace, but it's good to keep in mind as we experiment with and evaluate AI tools for training purposes too.

"5 Ways AI Tools Create New Barriers

1️⃣ Inaccessible interfaces – Not compatible with screen readers or voice recognition software.

2️⃣ Rigid productivity metrics – Penalize neurodiverse work patterns.

3️⃣ Communication analysis – Misreads communication styles tied to certain disabilities.

4️⃣ Cognitive assumptions – Built around neurotypical thinking.

5️⃣ Sensory requirements – Require inputs (voice/vision) not accessible to all. "
