Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into assistive technologies represents a transformative advancement in enhancing the quality of life for persons with disabilities. This paper explores the multifaceted applications of AI, from aiding daily activities and providing personalized medical care, to improving social and emotional well-being. By examining AI-powered tools such as text readers, robotic assistants, and communication aids, the study highlights how these technologies facilitate independence and better healthcare outcomes. A survey from 2022 focusing on Serbia explores how many basic digital literate persons with disabilities use AI-based communication aids, and how many are aware that AI is following their everyday activities. The study reveals a possibility of future high usage rates and positive impacts on persons with disabilities in Serbia. About 24.32% of them already utilize AI-based communication tools, mostly audio and text processing tools. In this paper we underscore AI’s potential to foster inclusivity and independence, which is an important topic that should be emphasized in the society today.
