Justice-Centred AI Ethics Guide

LET’S has developed 2 Justice-Centred AI Ethics Guides (1 broad, 1 research based) to support organizations in using artificial intelligence in ways that align with disability justice and broader equity commitments. 

These guides start from the understanding that AI is inherently shaped by colonialism, capitalism, and existing power structures, and that it is neither neutral nor objective. LET’S centres the lived expertise of disabled, neurodivergent, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, emphasizing that any use of AI must be accountable to the communities most impacted by data extraction, surveillance, and algorithmic harm.

​The guides outline LET’S commitment to using AI intentionally and sparingly, always with human oversight, connection, and dignity at the core. Drawing on Indigenous concepts of relational accountability, they emphasize that choices about technology affect not only organizations, but also the people whose data is used, the workers who build these systems, and the land and resources consumed in the process. Rather than offering a static “checklist,” the documents are explicitly framed as living resources that will evolve as technology shifts and as communities push for stronger justice-centered practices.

Organizations can use these guides to reflect on when and how they deploy AI, what safeguards and consent practices are in place, and how to prioritize human relationships and rights.
