This episode explored how AI is transforming assistive technology to expand accessibility for the disabled. We learned how modern AI enables advanced screen readers, speech recognition, facial/emotion detection and more. A case study on Be My Eyes showed how humans and AI can collaborate to give on-demand sight to the blind through video chat. While limitations remain, the future looks bright for AI to remove barriers, grant independence and empower the disabled.

This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence. We do fact check with human eyes, but there might still be hallucinations in the output.
