This book offers a bold and critical examination of the intersections between artificial intelligence (AI) and disability justice. Rather than framing AI as a neutral or purely beneficial tool, the book interrogates how AI systems reproduce ableism, deepen systemic exclusions, and perpetuate colonial, neoliberal, and corporate power structures. It challenges the prevailing reliance on "tech fixes"—improving datasets or tweaking algorithms—and instead insists on addressing the deeper social, political, and ethical dimensions of AI development and deployment. Through a disability justice lens, it highlights the complex realities faced by disabled communities and emphasizes the need for approaches that dismantle ableism rather than superficially enhance accessibility.
