VIGO4AI Is Building Accessible AI Training for the Blind and Visually Impaired

AI can be extremely helpful in many ways and for sighted people, it is often an upgrade but for blind and visually impaired people, it can be a gateway to independence.

For roughly 40 million* people worldwide, who are blind and many more who are visually impaired reading a letter, identifying products, navigating unfamiliar spaces and surfing online can be extremely challenging. AI tools can help overcome some of those challenges by effectively describing the physical and digital world to its users. But access to these tools alone is not enough. Knowing how to use them confidently is equally as important. This is why VIGO4AI’s main mission is creating practical, multilingual AI training for blind and visually impaired adults and their educators. The goal of this mission is a shift in confidence: the ability to approach new technology with curiosity rather than anxiety.

The training includes something for everyone: for people with low vision and those who are fully blind, for young professionals building their career skills and for older adults encountering smartphones for the first time. It is designed for complete beginners and experienced users alike. Adaptive materials and flexible learning paths ensure every participant finds their entry point and progresses at their own pace. All curricula are available in five languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian and Slovenian.
Topics include: how to install and use Seeing AI and Be My Eyes for reading documents, recognising products, and navigating outdoors, plus integrating AI add-ons into screen readers; how to use generative AI — prompting, evaluating outputs, and applying tools like ChatGPT to writing and content creation; designing and publishing functional AI chatbots using Jotform, an accessible browser-based platform. Each level builds on the last, and all can be followed independently or with a trainer.

While these specific apps taught today may change in the future, the mindset of an informed and independent digital citizen will not. The technological advancements are not slowing down, and AI is not waiting for everyone to be ready. VIGO4AI is making sure no one gets left behind.

*According to the IAPB Vision Atlas 2020 data, approximately 43.3 million people are blind worldwide. Additionally, 295 million people live with moderate-to-severe vision impairment (MSVI). These numbers are rising, with projections indicating over 60 million blind people by 2050 due to an aging population.

Umetna inteligenca lahko postane inteligenten in dostopen iskalnik, vsakodnevni zaveznik ter resnično prilagodljivo orodje.

Projekt ERASMUS+ »Vigo4AI – Visually Impaired Go For Artificial Intelligence« si prizadeva prepoznati inovativne rešitve, ki lahko umetno inteligenco spremenijo v konkretno podporo pri odpravljanju ovir ter pri vsakodnevnih dejavnostih ljudi.

Orodja, kot je ChatGPT, omogočajo:
- Iskanje informacij na voden način
- Organizacijo učenja ali dela
- Pretvorbo besedila v zvok in poenostavitev zahtevnih vsebin

ChatGPT presega standardne odgovore: razume kontekst, se prilagaja osebnim potrebam in spremlja posameznika pri njegovih vsakodnevnih opravilih.

Personalizacija je ključnega pomena za slepe in slabovidne osebe: ChatGPT ponuja prilagojena orodja in navodila, z možnostjo nastavitve trajnih individualnih usmeritev ter upravljanja spomina.
Glede na potrebe uporabnika lahko izberete:
- Slog odgovora
- Raven podrobnosti
- Način interakcije
- Neprekinjeno, prilagojeno glasovno podporo

UI se uči, prilagaja in raste skupaj z uporabnikom ter postane prilagojen, vključujoč in vsakodnevni zaveznik.

Pretekli teden smo se udeležili 24. Festivala za tretje življenjsko obdobje. Odmeven dogodek za starejše vsako leto poteka v sodelovanju z več kot 3.000 posamezniki najrazličnejših organizacij in predstavnikov družbe. V njegovem okviru potekajo razprave v strokovnem programu in številne aktivnosti na razstavnih prostorih.

Na 3-dnevem dogodku smo predstavjali projekt Povezani za morje in udeležence navduševal za varovanje morskega ekosistema in morskega okolja. 💧

Ozaveščali smo o problematiki onesnaževanja morja, pomembnosti morskih ekosistemov in aktivni vlogi posameznikov pri varovanju morja.

Hvala vsem, ki ste nas obiskali in delili svoje misli ter ideje. Skupaj skrbimo, da naše morje ostaja čisto in živo! 💙

Aktivnosti projekta Povezani za morje sofinancira Ministrstvo za javno upravo v okviru javnega razpisa za razvoj in profesionalizacijo NVO in prostovoljstva 2024.
