Client:
UiPath is a global leader in robotic process automation (RPA) and agentic AI, helping organizations improve performance through automation. Recognizing that automation could displace traditional roles - including those often held by individuals with autism - UiPath partnered with AutonomyWorks to shape the world of work, ensuring that neurodiverse talent plays a meaningful role in an AI-driven world.
Challenge:
The rise of automation presents both a challenge and an opportunity for neurodiverse workers. While AI and RPA can replace certain tasks, they also create new roles that require precision, deep focus, and pattern recognitions--areas where many people with autism excel. UiPath sought to harness this potential, developing pathways that integrate neurodiverse talent into the evolving workforce.
