AI can help blind community experience world in new ways: 'will lead to quality of life changes'
Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel weighs in on how artificial intelligence can change the patient-doctor relationship on "America's Newsroom." Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping people see the world in new ways every day, including the blind, who find AI helping them navigate the world with greater ease and more options than they previously could have imagined. "I think it will lead to quality of life changes," Chris Danielsen, director of public relations for the National Federation of the Blind, told Fox News Digital. "I think Braille will always be important – let me just say that we're big advocates of Braille and the National Federation of the Blind – but … what I think we're going to see is just that blind people can get more information about their environment." The blind community has already utilized new technology with AI-adjacent capabilities for a number of years, notably through the app Be My Eyes, which launched in 2015 and utilized computer vision, which analyzes images and identifies objects within them.
