Abstract:
This paper examines how commercial interests shape access to AI assistive tools for students with dyslexia, using the social model of disability and four speculative scenarios: exploitative commercial practices, inadequate institutional policies on digital poverty, developer prioritization of profit over fairness, and weak government oversight. It warns these dynamics can deepen inequities and calls for inclusive AI governance—addressing human, technological, and commercial power—to ensure equitable access, drawing on Australia’s Voluntary AI Safety Standards and contributing to global debates on accessible learning.
