AI has the potential to empower everyone to become more independent and self-sufficient. The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies in everyday settings creates new opportunities to understand how disabled people might use these technologies [Glazko, 2023]. It also enables the development of new types of assistive technologies as well as new ways for people with disabilities to interact with technology in ways that are both simpler (for those who need things simpler) and more efficient and effective for those who cannot use the traditional interfaces effectively. AI has been rapidly taken up in almost all accessibility communities [Adnin 2024, Alharbi 2024, Jiang 2024, Bennett 2024, Valencia 2023]. Since becoming widely available to the public, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has steadily gained recognition for its potential as a valuable tool in the private sector and by government, as well as a tool for accessibility. Studies of blind and visually impaired individuals have found that they use GAI to'offload' cognitively demanding tasks and obtain personal help such as fashion advice (e.g., [Xie 2024]), and to create content or retrieve information [Adnin 2024]. A study of GAI use by neurodiverse users found GAI can both support and complicate tasks like code-switching, emotional regulation, and accessing information [Glazko, 2025]. A study of people who use AAC found it helpful for text input [Valencia 2023]. However there are concerns with a technology that is often based on probability and thus tends toward the most common case rather than those at the margins.


Role of AI For Disabled Person

The term AI can be expanded as "Artificial Intelligence". Using AI, we can also process human intelligence and can be programmed to capture human actions. That's the reason this is also known as the artificial human brain. This helps in our daily life to manage new and simpler daily activities. We can easily automate tasks that require human intelligence using Ai such as text recognition, speech and voice recognition, the ability to make a decision, and other activities that can be done only with human intelligence.


ROLE OF AI FOR DISABLED PERSONS

In this modern era of the digital world where people are trying to find simplicity and ease in doing works, moreover, these new inventions are booming out for making mankind a way to lead a simple life using different technologies and ways among that one is Artificial intelligence or shortly known as AI a progressively increasing field of study which having its touch in every area starting from social media to e-commerce websites for a good recommendation of posts of our type and products based on search recommendations along within the different domains like agriculture, virtual assistance, shopping recommendations and for physically disabled people, security, stock market prediction, self-driving cars and many more. This modern era of AI can visualize things and understand real-time around us and can make optimal decisions and remove real-time problems moreover for the efficient work in addition with the reduction of human errors. How Ai is useful for disabled persons? Nowadays everyone has a mobile phone or any electronic devices, we spend more time of day with these devices and the development of this advanced technology like artificial intelligence and natural language processing, iot made their roots into our daily life's electronics and these developed features can be used in different ways where people who are suffering from disabilities can remove their problems or inconvenience related easily without any help of other person using apps and software's developed by advance technology. There is a different type of disabilities people face and mainly with Vision, Hearing, Prosthetics are three kinds mostly we can observe in the world, different technologies are present for vision-related issues such as braille displays and writing and many more for a long time, and in recent times AI has changed this thing and improved the way of interacting.

Artificial Intelligence has enabled us to perform our daily jobs in new and more efficient ways. AI can assist people with disabilities by significantly improving their ability to get around and participate in daily activities by automating the process that would typically need human intellect, such as speech recognition and several other functions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change the lives of individuals with disabilities by facilitating the development of interactive technologies that promote accessibility and flexibility. For persons with impairments, AI-assisted voice-assist devices like Google Home, Alexa have opened new possibilities of accessibility. Because Artificial Intelligence is so important in communication and engagement, it makes it much easier for persons with disabilities to access information simply by speaking to their devices.


Role of Artificial Intelligence for a disabled person.

#artificialintelligence

In the decade where everyone is busy minding their own work, living life is quite difficult for the people with disabilities and as shown by the reports more than 1 billion people are disabled in one way or other and for them, there is a lot of sympathy for their miserable life, but the real help is very less. Artificial Intelligence is the field that has been used over the period to help people with disabilities of every age, ethnicity, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status. As boasted theoretically on the internet, is Artificial Intelligence really helping disabled people so much to make their life easier? Will AI improve in the future? One of the major problems for a disabled person is to get employed and to help them Artificial Intelligence works as a kind of middleman to help a person identify an organization and vice-versa.

Role of AI for disabled persons

#artificialintelligence

A person with a disability is defined as a person having an impairment which can be physical, sensory or mental in nature. According to the United Nations as of the year 2021 the world population stands at a whopping 7.9 billion. Out of 7.9 billion people more than 1 billion people have some form of disability which is approximately 15 percent of the total population of the world. Life is hard enough as it is but for people with disabilities there are additional hardships that they have to face every single day. These hardships vary according to the type of disability.


ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR DISABLED PERSONS

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI), a revolutionize technique with the help of which, it is possible to create intelligent machines which can behave, think, and even make decisions just like a human. In short, it is concerned with the design of intelligence in artificial, particularly a computer, a computer-aided robot, or software which think intelligently. A Leap in the essence of the Artificial Intelligence lead to the formation of accelerated world-changing technologies that can work in the domain to impact the future of all the entities around, preferably for the upgradation of humanity. AI is a dynamic tool, efficient in multitasking used across industries for better decision making, optimizing efficiency and getting rid of repetitive work. In today's world, Artificial Intelligence plays an undeniable important part in the real world including different areas such as automobile, agriculture, social media, Entertainment, Gaming, Education, Surveillance, Finance, Robotics, Space Exploration, Healthcare etc. AI proved to be a breakthrough in Health sector for differently-abled people by making it easier to create interactive tools that support physical accessibility and independence.

We are not yet on the verge of creating cybernetic geniuses. But we have many systems in our societies that already can perform intelligently in narrow areas. We have hundreds of examples of these machines. Some of them are flying and landing our airplanes, or guiding intelligent weapons. We have electrocardiogram systems that provide an analysis as accurate as your doctor's.
