Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in the field of assistive technology, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance the autonomy and well-being of individuals with disabilities. This paper presents a comprehensive narrative review that explores the psychological implications of AI-based assistive technologies. While these tools are often celebrated for their functional benefits, their impact on psychological well-being is equally profound. Technologies such as voice recognition software, AI-powered mobility devices, and cognitive aids not only facilitate everyday tasks but also foster a sense of independence, reduce social isolation, and enhance emotional resilience. This study reviewed 53 peer-reviewed papers published between 2015 and 2025 and selected 24 that met specific inclusion criteria focused on psychological outcomes. The results show that AI technologies support critical dimensions of psychological health, including autonomy, self-efficacy, and emotional regulation. Moreover, the paper highlights existing challenges such as ethical concerns, disparities in access, and the need for inclusive design. Recommendations are provided for policy frameworks, research priorities, and interdisciplinary collaborations that can drive ethical innovation. The findings underscore the importance of a human-cantered approach to AI development that respects user diversity, promotes equity, and integrates emotional and cognitive support into technological design. By doing so, AI has the potential to play a central role in creating inclusive environments where people with disabilities can thrive.
