Overview

Conceptual analysis demonstrates how generative AI serves as reasonable accommodation in disability employment, highlighting the need for inclusive co-design and governance.

Key Points

To examine how generative artificial intelligence and large language models can function as reasonable workplace accommodations for persons with disabilities during education-to-work transitions.
Extended theoretical frameworks of artificial intelligence as epistemic support from disability scholarship into employment contexts.
Evaluated the conceptual boundaries separating artificial intelligence as a conventional productivity tool from its use as an assistive disability accommodation.
Identifies generative AI as an effective tool for epistemic labour that supports workers with disabilities without compromising perceived competence or intellectual agency.
Concludes that AI systems are not inherently emancipatory, requiring persons with disabilities to actively participate as co-designers and governance decision-makers.
