How AI Enables the Disabled The Future of Work
Either the robots are coming to send us all to the unemployment line of a mechanized dystopian future, or their benevolent introduction will bring about new, BETTER jobs that we have yet to even dream of. This false binary gets all the press and riles up the zeitgeist but most of us will see something closer to the middle. According to "What to Do When the Machines Do Everything" about 75% of current jobs will not only stick around, but be enhanced by artificial intelligence. Such a rising tide benefits us all, but has considerable positive implications for 56 million people in America that identify with a disability of some sort. While most use cases for AI center around improving efficiencies or freeing us up from daily drudgery, some innovators have turned their attention to services and systems that help enable the disabled to enjoy more active lives.
