In this study we provide an in-depth review and analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) components and solutions that support the development of cutting-edge assistive technologies for children with special needs. Various disabilities are addressed and the most recent assistive technologies that enhance communication and education of disabled children, as well as the AI technologies that have enabled their development, are presented. The paper summarizes with an AI perspective on future assistive technologies and ethical concerns arising from the use of such cutting-edge communication and learning technologies for children with disabilities.

It would review how this “integrated” society has the potential to radically transform our economics, politics, laws and fundamentally how we live. We are headed toward an age of “Shared consciousness” where transhumanism is not a dream but a way of life. A crucial question for both the present and beyond is how to make sure this coming world is as liberating and empowering as it is smart and technological.
