Immigration enforcement is intensifying across California. No matter your status, you have rights at work.

Today is #NHPIEqualPayDay. NHPI women must work EIGHT extra months to earn what white men made last year. 63¢ to the dollar is not equality—it’s injustice. We’re proud to fight for pay equity and the dignity all workers deserve.

Grey textured background. In the bottom right corner, there is a red circle with a line through it. Inside there is blue text that reads AI. Black text reads: ASAN Says No Generative AI in Plain Language! Full plain language statement on our website. The ASAN logo is at the bottom.
Dark grey textured background. There’s a lighter grey box with text that reads: Artificial intelligence is when a computer program does things that normally need to be done by humans. We call artificial intelligence “AI” for short. There are lots of different kinds of AI. The way AI works is by using data from people. Data is information a computer can read. AI programs read data made by people to understand what to do. Generative AI is a specific kind of AI. Generative AI can use data to make new things. Generative AI can create many kinds of new things, like: text images music/movies and more People have already started using generative AI to write plain language.
Grey textured background. Text reads: In our statement, we explain the reasons why people should not use generative AI to write in plain language. Plain language is an important part of making things accessible for people with disabilities. Using generative AI makes “plain language” that is not actually accessible. We hope anyone who writes in plain language will not use generative AI. Here are the reasons we talk about in our statement: Generative AI changes what things mean Plain language is an idea that is too new for generative AI to understand Generative AI focuses on words, not ideas Generative AI has discrimination built-in Plain language is by and for disabled people Read our full statement to learn more about each of these reasons.
Dark grey textured background. There is a blue “AI” with a red circle and line over it. The ASAN logo is at the bottom. There’s a light grey box with the following text: ASAN does not use generative AI for plain language. We hope people writing in plain language understand why you shouldn’t use generative AI for plain language. People writing in plain language should always talk to disabled people first. People with disabilities can give feedback to make stronger plain language papers. We do not need AI to do this work when we already know disabled people can. Nothing about us without us!
Generative AI changes what things mean because it focuses on words, not the meaning. It adds words, changes meaning, and makes "plain language" that is not accessible. We know, because we tested it. Generative AI has no place in plain language. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/07/asan...
