However, the public must not accept that incidental accessibility benefits arising from AI development are an unqualified good. Not only is this assumption flawed, but it accepts a hierarchy that disability advocates should be challenging. The implicit premise is that disabled people’s needs require a commercial co-signer before they merit action. When a society is unmoved by decades of advocacy from disabled communities but springs into action when a tech company needs the same accommodation, it reveals whose claims on shared resources are treated as legitimate and whose are treated as optional.
