Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted this morning that the social network now offers blind people audio descriptions of images.
The company is leveraging its artificial intelligence technology to power "screen readers" that scan news feeds and describe the content. The readers have been able to tell users what the text in a Facebook post says for some time, but they can now also detail what an image may contain via AI-enabled voice software. The program also tells users what kind of likes and reactions a post gets.
