My new book, No Sight Required, is set to hit Amazon within a week! Are you excited just as much as I am? My dream come true, personally, but, bigger picture, an answer to many's question, is there a book that explains this stuff in simple terms for me? Yes. There is. It's taken me over a year with countless revisions, updates, and fact checks, but we're here. For the curious new mind in their 20's, or, old Jack in his 50's losing his sight and needs an introduction and explanation of tools...
An enormous thanks to all my nerdy blind professionals who I've had the pleasure to work along side in the field, on my podcast, and who help keep me honest in my own work.

🌟 **How the Blind Community is Pioneering AI Adoption in Day-to-Day Life** 🌟

For many blind people, the experience of relying on sighted assistance for tasks they *know* how to do—but can’t do, due to lack of sight—shapes their openness to AI. Think about it: you’re capable, knowledgeable, and ready, but you need someone who can *see* to help you. Often, that person might lack the skill or understanding to do the task well, simply because their value lies in their vision.

Enter AI: a neutral, consistent helper that doesn’t judge, condescend, or misunderstand your needs. 🛠️ AI tools like Be My Eyes and Seeing AI have already proven transformative. These technologies give blind people something we crave—**privacy, autonomy, and efficiency. **

Blind people have long embraced assistive tech, from braille displays to speech-to-text tools. For us, the leap to AI feels natural—it’s just another tool to enhance independence. While AI isn’t perfect (yet), many of us are willing to accept occasional errors because the trade-offs are worth it. 🌍

Sure, some have concerns about privacy and over-reliance, but the overarching story is one of empowerment. AI doesn’t just assist; it restores agency. That’s why blind people are often at the forefront of exploring what’s possible with AI.

💬 What’s your take? Is AI the future of independence for disabled people, or are there challenges we need to address first? Share your thoughts below! 👇

🚀 Just listened to *This Day in AI* – they're talking about ChatGPT on Mac using Accessibility features to be faster & cheaper. 🧠✨

The irony? AI is now working *like a blind person* to be more efficient! 🤯

My passion for AI is rooted in the dream that, one day, as a blind person, I can use tech *like a sighted person* – to be faster, more independent, and unstoppable. 💻⚡

The future is collaboration between innovation and lived experience. 🌟
