A survey conducted by the American Foundation for the Blind asked 1,735 adults with and without disabilities about their experiences using artificial intelligence (AI) in their everyday lives.

The survey found that people use AI in many different ways, including voice-activated AI (Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant), note-taking and writing, workplace tasks, learning, applying for jobs, and even psychotherapy.

Despite these benefits, people are concerned about the potential harms of AI in various contexts, including inaccessible AI systems used in hiring, bias in AI-integrated health care systems, harms related to AI psychotherapy, and inaccuracies in AI-generated information. A majority of participants also raised concerns about privacy when AI has access to their sensitive information.

Apple’s “I’m Not Remarkable” commercial won the 2026 Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial on September 5, 2026.

In December 2025, Apple released a musical short film featuring college students with disabilities using Apple’s built-in accessibility features as they navigate everyday campus life.

The central idea is that disabled students are not “remarkable” simply because they are disabled, but are ordinary people who happen to use accessibility tools to study, socialize, and navigate college life.
