The Issue  

AI tools often overlook blind society, leaving many excluded from tech advancements. It’s an invisible barrier we need to break.

Why It Matters 

AI can transform lives, but when it excludes the blind, it widens the digital divide. Everyone deserves equal access.

Accessibility Gaps in AI 

Most AI tools lack features like text-to-speech or tactile interfaces. This makes them unusable for the blind society.

Lack of Representation 

Blind people are rarely consulted when designing AI tools. Without their input, inclusivity falls short.

Real-World Impact 

From job searches to online shopping, blind users face challenges daily due to inaccessible AI platforms.

Tech That Can Help 

AI has potential! Tools like voice-controlled assistants and smart canes can change lives—if designed inclusively.

Charities Speak Out 

Organizations advocate for inclusivity in AI. They push for laws ensuring accessibility for blind society.

What We Can Do 

By raising awareness and supporting inclusive design, we can bridge the gap for blind society.
