Type of Project: Funded project
Assistance services and artificial intelligence for people with severe disabilities in vocational rehabilitation. Monitoring-Exploration-Transformation (KI.ASSIST)

Description / Topics

The digital transformation using artificial intelligence (AI) and assistance services is now considered a pioneering pathfinder in numerous industries and sectors of the education and labor market. However, these development and transformation processes have so far hardly taken people with severe disabilities into account. This applies in particular to vocational rehabilitation with regard to the opportunities for an improved transition to the general labor market and improved participation in working life.

Since April 2019, the KI.ASSIST project has been testing how AI and assistance services can improve the participation opportunities of people with disabilities in the labor market in various learning and experimental scenarios throughout Germany for three years with funding from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the Equalization Fund.

The project involves the Federal Association of German Vocational Training Centres, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, the Federal Association of Vocational Training Centres and the Federal Association of Workshops for People with Disabilities.

The project structure is based on the following focal points: Monitoring, exploration, transformation, dialog platform and person-centeredness. KI.ASSIST is investigating technological developments at the interfaces of ethics, self-determination and inclusion.
