  Tackling algorithmic discrimination against persons with disabilities (PWDs)
demands a distinctive approach that is fundamentally different to that applied
to other protected characteristics, due to particular ethical, legal, and
technical challenges. We address these challenges specifically in the context
of artificial intelligence (AI) systems used in hiring processes (or automated
hiring systems, AHSs), in which automated assessment procedures are subject to
unique ethical and legal considerations and have an undeniable adverse impact
on PWDs. In this paper, we discuss concerns and opportunities raised by
AI-driven hiring in relation to disability discrimination. Ultimately, we aim
to encourage further research into this topic. Hence, we establish some
starting points and design a roadmap for ethicists, lawmakers, advocates as
well as AI practitioners alike.
