The Future Is Being Decided Now

AI for all means disability included. We are building a future where disabled people don’t just use artificial intelligence—they lead it.

“No greater disability than a person believing they can’t.”

— Shireen Hafeez, CEO and Founder of Deaf Kids Code

Why Now?

Three forces are converging:

Explosive global AI adoption
Expanding accessibility regulation
Persistent disability exclusion in technology

This is a once-in-a-generation window to decide: Will AI widen inequality—or power disability leadership?

Who we are

AI is becoming foundational to education, work, and daily life. Yet most disabled learners lack access to AI literacy, tools, and training—risking deeper digital exclusion. If inclusion isn’t built in now, inequity will scale with AI.

AIxDisability is a pilot initiative committed to building inclusive, accessible futures by equipping disabled communities with the knowledge and tools to critically engage with AI. Through education, advocacy, and design, we aim to foster a world where disabled people are not only protected from bias in AI systems, but actively

Our belief is that Disabled people must move from:

Users → Creators → Leaders of AI

AI literacy is the bridge to that future.

What we do

We build pathways for disabled leadership in AI through

Accessible AI education

for students, educators, and communities

Advocacy against algorithmic bias

like hiring, healthcare, and education.

Co-design & research partnerships

with disabled communities that centered disability in ethical AI innovation.

Facts Matter

Statistics that you should know about

Many disabled students still lack reliable internet or adaptive technology.

Limited infrastructure and assistive access continue to create barriers to equitable participation in digital learning.
Accessibility is reinforced globally through CRPD, Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act. International policy increasingly recognizes accessible technology as a civil and human right—raising expectations for inclusive AI.
Fewer than 5% of students with disabilities have access to AI literacy.
While AI adoption accelerates, formal education and training opportunities remain largely inaccessible.
The AI in education market is growing rapidly this decade. Investment and innovation are scaling quickly—making early inclusion critical to prevent widening inequity.
77% of disabled students use generative AI to support learning.
Usage is widespread even without structured access, guidance, or affordability.
Many AI-using disabled students are neurodiverse or have learning differences.
AI is already functioning as an informal cognitive and learning support.
91% of disabled students cannot afford paid AI tools.
Cost remains a major barrier to equitable participation in emerging technology.
