Abstract: Artificial intelligence has been heralded as a promising assistive technology to provide greater independence and security for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Scenarios have been envisioned in which intelligent machines act as personal assistants or companions to remind, prompt, guide, and alert to risk. The popular press and entertainment media is rife with speculations regarding the implications of advancing artificial intelligence (AI). Imagined futures range from: escalating unemployment as robots and self-driving vehicles replace workers, humanoid robots that act as indistinguishable community members or servants, cyborg enhancements of our flawed human forms, smart environments that anticipate and serve our every wish, to machine intelligence that takes over the world from inferior humans [1,2].
