Meta Explains AI Availability In UK & Are National Tech Centres For Blind People A Good Idea?
https://youtu.be/4tJBBXr_yKo
Today on the show, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the latest developments in AI technology, particularly focusing on Meta AI and its availability in the UK and the use cases for Google Geminii 2.0.
Following a request from Meta, the company sends us an official statement regarding AI features, their availability in the UK, and the importance of accessibility in AI technology.
Privacy concerns surrounding AI usage are also addressed following a listener email, along with a demonstration of the Gemini AI vision features from Brian Clark, highlighting its capabilities and potential applications.
There’s also more discussion from listeners on the suggestion by Steven that there should be national technology centres for blind people, with viewpoints raised by Negative Julian and Tiffani on the topic.
Plus Tiffani touches on the concept of blind pride and the varying experiences of those who are blind or visually impaired.
