New preprint: AI, Autism, and the Architecture of Voice

I’m sharing a new preprint exploring how AI systems shape whose voices are heard, whose are filtered out, and what it would mean to design AI around dignity rather than accommodation after the fact.

The paper examines how current AI architectures—especially those governing speech, communication, and interaction—often reproduce forms of engineered exclusion for autistic and minimal/nonspeaking people. It then proposes a shift toward designed dignity: building voice, agency, and access into systems from the outset rather than retrofitting accessibility later.
