communication disability to :
• expand on short sentences , saving time and effort
• draft or improve texts for emails , instructions , or assignments

• practice conversations , including asking and answering questions
• correct errors in texts produced for a range of purposes

Future AI must be inclusive and accessible
Given its potential for text-based assistance , it is important to know if people with communication disability will be able to access chatbots like ChatGPT .
We don ’ t know how many of the one million users testing the ChatGPT system now have problems with literacy , written expression , or spelling . But so far it looks like a game changer to help people produce texts with little or less effort .
The experiences of people with communication disability in using AI like ChatGPT are vital in the future co-design of assistive technologies . We need to know more about their views on acceptability , usability , and authenticity of the messages produced . With a screen reader , the ChatGPT output could become the user ’ s “ voice ”. So being able to check , edit , and confirm or reject AI writing is vital . Any incremental improvements to chat bots , that take into account what helps and hinders access and inclusion , are important if people with communication disability are going to benefit
from advancements in AI .
