Artificial intelligence can help blind people explore the world

Artificial intelligence: Danish startup Be My Eyes is developing an app based on the Open AI model that acts as a virtual assistant for people with blindness. Be My Eyes has a mission: to help blind people explore the world around them using smartphone technology. Created in 2015, the app developed by the Danish startup of the same name connects blind users with a network of sighted volunteers who, through a video call, 'lend' their eyes to observe and describe what they see through the device's camera. In the not-too-distant future, however, volunteers may no longer be needed. Be My Eyes is developing a beta version of the application that relies on a virtual assistant based on GPT-4, the latest version of Open AI's artificial intelligence model.
