Transforming Perceptions: Exploring the Multifaceted Potential of Generative AI for People With Cognitive Disabilities Background: Background: The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents unprecedented opportunities to redefine conceptions of personhood and cognitive disability, potentially enhancing the inclusion and participation of individuals with cognitive disabilities in society. Objective: Objective: Explore the transformative potential of GenAI in reshaping perceptions of cognitive disability, dismantling societal barriers, and promoting social participation for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Methods: Method: Critical review of current literature in disability studies, artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, and computer science, integrating insights from disability theories and the philosophy of technology. The analysis focused on two key aspects: GenAI as a social mirror reflecting societal values and biases, and GenAI as a cognitive partner for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Results: Results: The article proposes a theoretical framework for understanding the impact of GenAI on perceptions of cognitive disability. It introduces the concepts of GenAI as a "social mirror" that reflects and potentially amplifies societal biases, and as a "cognitive co-pilot" providing personalized assistance in daily tasks, social interactions, and environmental navigation. The article also presents a novel protocol for developing AI systems tailored to the needs of individuals with cognitive disabilities, emphasizing user involvement, ethical considerations, and the need to address both the opportunities and challenges posed by GenAI. Conclusions: Conclusions: Although GenAI has great potential for promoting the inclusion and empowerment of individuals with cognitive disabilities, realizing this potential requires a change in societal attitudes and development practices. The article calls for interdisciplinary collaboration and close partnership with the disability community in the development and implementation of GenAI technologies. Implications: Realizing the potential of GenAI for promoting the inclusion and empowerment of individuals with cognitive disabilities requires a multi-faceted approach. This involves a shift in societal attitudes, inclusive AI development practices that prioritize the needs and perspectives of the disability community, and ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration. The article emphasizes the importance of proceeding with caution, recognizing the ethical complexities and potential risks alongside the transformative possibilities of GenAI technology.
