AI Glasses & the Future of Accessibility

What happens when artificial intelligence becomes something you can wear?In this episode of The EKO Lens, host Dr. Kenisha Coon-Santiago sits down with Dr. Jesse Bolinger to explore the rapidly evolving world of AI-powered glasses and what these technologies could mean for people who are blind or have low vision.They discuss current technology options, accessibility and usability challenges, the role of the blind and low-vision community in shaping innovation, and the possibilities—and questions—that come with increasingly AI-powered assistive technology.Most importantly, the conversation asks: Are we designing technology for the blind and low-vision community, or are we designing it with them?From independence and everyday access to affordability, privacy, equity, and the future of wearable technology, this conversation goes beyond the excitement surrounding AI to consider what meaningful accessibility actually looks like.
