Disability:IN Minnesota’s Post

Did you know that over 15% of businesses in the UK have already adopted some form of AI into their daily workflow? Whether you think that number should be lower or higher, it’s only set to rise from here! Here at Celebrating Disability, we’re tackling a topic that’s spread to every area of work, and disability inclusion is no exception – AI and technology. Love it or hate it, it’s here to stay, and this month we’ll be diving into the pros, cons, and what it means for disability inclusivity. From AI-powered tools like real-time captioning in meetings to smart accessibility features in apps, technology is opening doors for disabled people in workplaces – but there are challenges too, and concerns that AI may even make it harder for disabled workers to find employment. We’ll be releasing a full blog post this month all about what AI means for the future of disability inclusion within businesses, so keep an eye out! What do you think of AI? Has it helped or hindered your workplace? Let us know in the comments!

As a kid, being grounded wasn't fun, but it was mom's way to align our behaviors to her expectations. In AI, curiously, grounding provides a way to align AI outputs to trusted sources of information. It is not surprising then, that #digitaltransformations are also being "grounded" - in this case through commitments like the Charter of Solfagnano, to ensure they prioritize #dignity, #inclusion and #empowerment of all persons society-wide. "We encourage the productive world of innovation to develop support systems, assistive technologies and tools that can be enabling and rehabilitating, with a view to maximising independence and autonomy of persons with disabilities in all aspects and dimensions of life, such as health, mobility, information, education, work, communication, autonomy, and that they are easy to understand and use by persons with disabilities." #digitalpublicinfrastructure #digitalpublicgoods #solfagnano #designfordignity #digitalempowerment #leavingnoonebehind

The law includes neurodivergence as a protected disability, but just over 16% of respondents told us that they would not mention neurodivergence when asked to report disabilities, while a further 17% weren’t sure if they would. Because of this self-identification gap, employers may think their employee base is less neurodiverse than they actually are. This is why its vital that leaders better understand neurodivergent experience and how to support it in the workplace.
