AI has the potential both to promote equity and to harm it.
If we look specifically at persons with disabilities, there are examples in which AI has been used to improve the capacity of people with disabilities to operate in a workplace. There is a café that recently opened in Tokyo that uses robots to help increase the motor function of people with disabilities in order to help them fully operate within that workplace.
At the same time, if you don't take an equity lens when you're implementing artificial intelligence, those marginalized groups—people with disabilities and other groups like them—are going to be the first people harmed by the introduction of AI in the workplace.
You have to start from a place of asking how AI can help uplift and increase the participation of everyone, and use that as your framework, instead of starting with, “We have AI. What can we get rid of with it?”
