20240827 - Tuesday Topics - How Are You Using AI?

Tuesday Topics will focus on how AI is being used by people who are blind! This was planned for last Tuesday but the ACB Board of Directors preempted our discussion! We will be expanding our second topic from last week!

I wonder how many of us are using artificial intelligence to describe pictures and other things. I saw a long article almost a year ago about a blind person who was using A i to describe coins he was collecting! Are there other things you are using these programs to accomplish? How well do they work? Have you noticed "hallucinations" much? Are they becoming less common? Are there things you can't do now with artificial intelligence that you would like to be able to do?

There are lots of ways that we can access artificial intelligence! How should we do it? Should we use AIRA? Should we concentrate on the approach of Be My Eyes? Should we expect that entities like copilot will become the way we implement AI.

Should the use of AI become part of the curriculum of rehab agencies? Should ACB, perhaps through BITS (Blind Information Technology Specialists), consider doing some training for us?

Are we making AI more important for people who are blind than it needs to be? Should we be concerned over what has happened to Orcam? What are the implications of this development for those who own Orcam products? There are lots of questions and lots of issues!
