Using AI to support people with disability in the labour market
Opportunities and challenges
People with disability face persisting difficulties in the labour market. There are
concerns that AI, if managed poorly, could further exacerbate these challenges. Yet,
AI also has the potential to create more inclusive and accommodating environments
and might help remove some of the barriers faced by people with disability in the
labour market. Building on interviews with more than 70 stakeholders, this report
explores the potential of AI to foster employment for people with disability, accounting
for both the transformative possibilities of AI-powered solutions and the risks attached
to the increased use of AI for people with disability. It also identifies obstacles
hindering the use of AI and discusses what governments could do to avoid the risks
and seize the opportunities of using AI to support people with disability in the labour
market.
