Summary
In the United States, a patchwork of privacy and antidiscrimination laws protects the rights of people with disabilities: the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects disability-related patient data as it flows from one healthcare provider to another. If the information leaks out of the healthcare system, laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA) can contain it and mitigate its effects. This patchwork of laws often succeeds in preventing disability discrimination. However, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are rendering it ineffective.
