In this opinion, the EESC:

  • believes it is crucial to include persons with disabilities throughout the process of designing, developing, assessing and implementing new technologies and AI-based applications. This involvement is key to mitigating potential discriminatory risks;
  • invites the Member States and the EU to audit and evaluate to what extent AI applications are inclusive in critical fields;
  • believes further follow-up is required to protect persons with disabilities from the harmful application of supposedly limited risk systems, particularly in the field of employment and recruitment;
  • underlines the importance of ensuring the general accessibility of services and goods that apply new technologies and AI based solutions
