Blind Visionaries and AI: Seeing Differently is an in-depth exploration of how individuals with diverse visual impairments leverage technology, and especially AI, to reimagine their perceptions of the world. Central authors Dagmar Jamieson, who lost her sight due to cone-rod dystrophy, and Mark Rawleigh, diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), provide foundational narratives informed by their personal journeys, establishing context for insightful contributions from a diverse group of accomplished individuals, each living with visual impairments. Structured as a collaborative volume, the book begins with a foreword by playwright Eugene Stickland, who discusses his experiences with prosopagnosia (face blindness).
