Privacy Considerations of the Visually Impaired with Camera Based Assistive Tools

Published:17 October 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

People with visual impairments (PVIs) are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence (HI) based technologies in their daily lives to overcome their accessibility barriers. Such systems pose privacy and security risks for PVIs (as well as bystanders) because PVIs cannot review their photos before sharing with such services and inaccurate information can misinform PVIs and misrepresent bystanders. Through my doctoral research, I aim to create a privacy enhancing camera-based assistive system for people with visual impairments to address their privacy considerations. To inform designs for an effective, usable, and privacy-aware assistive system, I seek to gain an understanding of 1)~what privacy considerations PVIs have with camera based assistive technologies, and 2)~what factors should be considered to design privacy-aware assistive technologies.
