An Autistic Perspective On AI
from The Autistic Mile Hosted by Jim Gaffney
AI is surrounded by enormous promises—but understanding what it can’t do may be just as important as understanding what it can. Jim Gaffney and Derek Crager, founder of Practical AI and author of Humans First AI: Save Your Business, Save Your Jobs, discuss artificial intelligence from the perspective of an autistic professional working directly with the technology. Derek explores how AI’s potential is currently being heavily promoted throughout the technology industry, sometimes creating expectations that extend beyond what today’s systems can reliably deliver. While AI can be an incredibly powerful tool, using it effectively means recognizing its limitations rather than treating it as an all-purpose replacement for human judgment, experience, and creativity. The conversation also examines a different vision for AI in the workplace: rather than asking how many people technology can replace, what if we asked how it could help those people do their jobs better? Used thoughtfully, AI can automate tedious work, support problem-solving, and give employees new ways to apply their existing talents—while keeping human beings at the center of the process. #TheAutisticMile #DerekCrager #PracticalAI #HumansFirstAI #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #FutureOfWork #AIAndJobs #HumanCenteredAI #ResponsibleAI #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity #Technology #YouTubeShorts
