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.
