New AFB Survey Seeks Better Understanding of AI Usage
As part of its ongoing research into the impact of artificial intelligence on society—particularly for people with disabilities—the AFB Public Policy and Research Institute (PPRI) has launched a national study to examine AI’s role in everyday life. The survey explores how AI is being used in employment, transportation, healthcare, and daily living, with the goal of understanding its benefits and challenges for people with and without disabilities.
“We’re deeply interested in learning more about AI’s true impact on American life,” said Stephanie Enyart, AFB’s Chief Public Policy and Research Officer. “The more we capture how people of all abilities use AI, the better we can guide developers to ensure accessibility in our rapidly changing world.”
This survey represents the second phase of PPRI’s work on AI. The first phase, released in January, highlighted predictions from experts across technology, nonprofit, and public sectors about AI’s impact on the disability community.
Anyone over 18 living in the U.S. is eligible to participate, regardless of disability status. PPRI hopes to achieve a balanced pool of respondents. The survey closes at the end of September.
