Abstract

The systematic review on the use of artificial intelligence as assistive technology aims to provide an analysis of the impact of this technology in improving the quality of life of people with disabilities. It was carried out through the review of 18 articles obtained from Scopus, using the PRISMA methodology with inclusion criteria: use of Spanish/English language, and especially, with a focus on AI applied to various disabilities. It was found that the use of these tools significantly improves autonomy and mobility, which contributes to social inclusion; the limitations identified were accessibility and limited personalization. It is debated that these may be due to specific factors, such as the person's age and prior experience with technological devices, highlighting the need for technologies to be more intuitive and quickly adaptable. This study offers a broad analysis of the topic, identifying the causes of potential issues that may arise with the use of these technologies, and suggesting ways to expand their use so they can continue to provide meaningful support in the daily lives of those who need them.
