Thinking with Prosthetics Artificial Intelligence. Epistemic Justice, and the Right of Access to Thought for Neurodivergent Subjects

This working paper examines the epistemic and moral implications of prohibiting the use of generative AI tools in academic production, with particular attention to neurodivergent subjects.The paper argues that blanket bans on AI constitute a form of procedural epistemic injustice, insofar as the exclude subjects whose cognitive access to thought requires assistive or prosthetic mediation.The text proposes a normative distinction between illegitimate uses of AI as a substitute for competence and legitimate uses as cognitive prosthetics that externalize already possessed capacities.This version is intended as a preprint and conceptual contribution, open to critical discussion and further development.
