This study highlights the substantial role of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving the lives of persons with disabilities, in alignment with the rights articulated in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). AI has the potential to support key domains such as education, healthcare, mobility, employment, independent living, social inclusion, and equality, thereby reshaping how persons with disabilities interact with their surroundings. A wide range of corporations and large organisations have invested in developing AI-driven technologies designed specifically for individuals with impairments, with the aim of enhancing independence and daily functioning. As AI technologies continue to expand in use, it is essential to evaluate their societal implications, particularly for persons with disabilities, and to address the ethical challenges associated with their deployment. The study aims to demonstrate how AI can strengthen accessibility and self-determination for persons with disabilities by providing sustainable advantages that enhance quality of life, open previously inaccessible opportunities, remove structural barriers, and foster inclusive participation in society regardless of disability status. It further underscores the necessity of advancing AI systems, ensuring inclusive design, and maintaining compliance with human rights principles outlined in the CRPD. The findings indicate that AI has enabled the development of multiple assistive technologies that simplify daily activities for persons with disabilities, although these solutions remain imperfect, susceptible to inaccuracies, and in need of continuous refinement. Additionally, the study presents recommendations directed at governments, human rights practitioners, organisations representing persons with disabilities, civil society stakeholders, and private sector entities. These actors are encouraged to assess and mitigate the risks that AI may pose to the rights and standards established in the CRPD, while also supporting the SDGs, particularly the principle of equitable treatment. Organisations are advised to undertake further research, collaborate with disability communities and specialised groups, and engage directly with users with disabilities to ensure that technological innovations are effective, inclusive, and accessible.
