Key Takeaways
- Advocating for hidden workers: Thinking differently adds to creativity. It broadens perspectives to complete tasks differently and gives people new opportunities. Robinson advocates for those with intellectual disabilities and neurodivergences — also referred to as “hidden workers” — to do quality work.
- Using AI as a tool: AI can help these individuals to pursue meaningful employment in several ways. For instance, AI enables them to show up confidently and communicate effectively by breaking down their ideas and thoughts. “Use AI as a tool, not necessarily a crutch,” Robinson encourages. “You don’t want to copy and paste directly what AI says, but it can help you get your thought process flowing.”
