This episode explores the dual nature of artificial intelligence as both a potential accessibility solution and a possible digital obstacle within professional environments. While automated tools can assist neurodivergent or disabled employees by simplifying complex data and managing cognitive fatigue, the author warns that these benefits are not guaranteed.
