Shew notes that AI is often framed in media and research as a kind of “cure” for disability — for example, prosthetics that restore a “normal” body or AI tools that erase impairments. These narratives center technological intervention (and often making life "easier" for the caretaker rather than the person needing care) while sidelining social changes that would make the world more accessible. By treating disability as a condition to be corrected, such stories reinforce ableist ideas rather than valuing disabled people’s lived experiences.
