Artificial Intelligence
Explore the accessibility considerations of using artificial intelligence in the workplace.
Today, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly commonplace, including to screen job applicants, streamline the hiring process, provide on-the-job training, disseminate information to employees and improve productivity.
At the same time, corporate commitment to including people with disabilities is growing, Companies are also increasingly recognizing that their policies and plans must include people with disabilities. This focus on ensuring access for people with disabilities is prompting some employers to consider how AI can facilitate, and not inadvertently hinder, their ability to recruit, hire, retain and advance employees with disabilities.
The Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology's (PEAT) Why AI-Enabled Hiring Tools Matter discusses how the use of AI can impact employment of people with disabilities.
It is important to ensure that the use of AI in the workplace does not inadvertently discriminate against job candidates and employees with disabilities.
