United Against Algorithms: Disability-Led Struggles Against Algorithmic Injustice [1]

['Georgia Van Toorn']

Date: 2024-04-15

This primer explores the increasing integration of algorithmic decision-making (ADM) systems by governments in areas impacting people with disabilities, such as benefit allocation and support plans. It highlights the risks of unjust outcomes and increased surveillance due to these systems, often designed without meaningful input from the disability community. The document examines how disability activists are responding through "algoactivism," which includes legal challenges and grassroots efforts, emphasizing the need for disability justice to address bias, inequality, and discrimination embedded in these technologies. The primer includes case studies and resources to support disability-led groups in advocating for systemic change.
