""All our lives, blind people have had to grapple with the idea that seeing ourselves is impossible, that we are beautiful on the inside, and the first thing we judge about a person is their voice, but we know we'll never be able to see them,""
""Suddenly we have access to all this information about ourselves, about the world, it changes our lives.""
""it feels like AI is pretending to be my mirror.""
Advanced AI applications provide blind people with detailed visual feedback about their appearance and surroundings by analyzing photographs and answering personalized questions. Machine vision and sophisticated models integrated into smart glasses and mobile assistants function as digital mirrors, offering skin evaluation, comparisons, and appearance advice that were previously inaccessible. Early systems (around 2017) produced only brief labels, while modern tools support tasks from reading and shopping to makeup application and outfit coordination. These capabilities create new practical possibilities and raise emerging emotional and psychological consequences, alongside concerns about dangerous biases embedded in the systems.
