Mr. John Sherwin:

I am not aware of specific examples but I can easily see how that could happen, particularly when people have the right not to be discriminated against in relation to their disability.

They are not adding "I am a disabled person" or "I am a deaf person" to their CV. Consequently, how does AI determine the difference between a poor CV and a CV with which someone is struggling in relation to his or her disability? These kinds of automated decisions do not have the nuance to determine those things. Earlier we talked about a creep of low-quality sign language potentially coming in due to cost-effective AI solutions. We also have a concern around personal assistance for disabled people and how personal assistance of a lower quality can creep in to replace personal assistant jobs and human contact, which it does not have the ability to meet. We have to be cautious and introduce these kind of supports only when they are proven to be effective, rather than introducing them and then testing them out with a user group that could have potentially catastrophic, life-changing effects as a result of that testing in the marketplace.
