Dump It, Destroy It, Send It to Data Heaven': Blind People's Expectations for Visual Privacy in Visual Assistance Technologies
Open accessAbstract
Visual assistance technologies provide people who are blind with access to information about their visual surroundings by digitally connecting them to remote humans or artificial intelligence systems that describe visual content such as objects, people, scenes, and text observed in their live image/video feeds. Prior work has revealed that users have concerns about how such technologies handle private visual content captured in their image/video feeds. Yet, it remains unclear how users want technologies to manage such private content. To fill this gap, we interviewed 16 totally blind individuals to learn about their expectations for visual privacy when using visual assistance technologies. Our findings reveal three overarching user-centered expectations associated with visual privacy-preservation in this domain, as well as the broader ethical challenges involved with developing AI-based privacy-preserving visual assistance technologies.

Section 4.3.2 (page unavailable) reports privacy concerns about collecting and storing blind participants’ visual data in AI-based visual assistance technologies. The paper does not establish that participants expressed those concerns when using LLMs; that is a more specific technology than the one studied. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
