AFB Webinar — The AI Quagmire: Benefits, Risks, and Aspirations Through a Disability Lens

March 25, 2026, 12:00 PM Eastern Time

This AFB webinar unveiled the results from our brand-new national research study—a survey of more than 1,700 Americans exploring how people with and without disabilities use AI, the barriers people with disabilities have encountered, and their hopes and concerns about future AI innovations.

We were joined by guest speaker Maitreya Shah, Technology Director at the American Association of People with Disabilities, who helped place our findings in the broader conversation about building inclusive AI policies and practices.

Together, we discussed what these results reveal about the disability community’s trust in AI, what they could mean for developers, deployers, and policymakers, how the disability community’s perspectives should shape the future of AI design and governance, and the key research questions that still need answers.
