Innovations like hands-free computer operations and screen readers for the visually impaired could reshape how individuals with disabilities contribute to their work and drive business success in the coming year. Excluding people with disabilities from the workforce can cost up to 7% of a country’s GDP, according to a 2023 World Economic Forum report. Implementing assistive AI in business strategies could lead to a 28% increase in revenue and a 30% increase in profit margins for companies. "As someone who navigates life in a wheelchair, I’ve seen firsthand how tools like voice recognition and adaptive interfaces open doors that were previously closed," says diversity and inclusion leader Alister Ong. "These advancements aren’t just about convenience — they’re about giving us the autonomy to perform, contribute, and thrive."
