Explainable AI for Blind and Low-Vision Users: Navigating Trust, Modality, and Interpretability in the Agentic Era
📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Explainable AI is crucial for trust and accountability, but its visual nature creates a barrier for blind and low-vision users to independently use AI-driven assistive technologies
Action Steps
- Identify the limitations of current Explainable AI (XAI) methods for blind and low-vision users
- Develop alternative modalities for XAI, such as auditory or tactile explanations
- Investigate the impact of autonomous agents on the accessibility of AI-driven assistive technologies
- Design and test XAI systems that prioritize interpretability and trust for BLV users
Who Needs to Know This
AI researchers and developers, particularly those working on assistive technologies, can benefit from this research to create more inclusive and accessible AI systems. This knowledge can also inform product managers and designers on how to prioritize accessibility in AI-driven products
Key Insight
💡 Explainable AI must be adapted to accommodate the needs of blind and low-vision users to ensure trust, accountability, and accessibility in AI-driven assistive technologies
