IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

  _____  

	




President's Letter




The Mark AI is the world's first AI built completely and authentically on
the experience of blind people and that blind people can continue to
influence into the future.

President Riccobono about changing misconceptions about blindness.



Our Voices Must be Heard!




"Yes, even AI avoids the 'B word'". Federationists are working to provide
perspective and influence in the development of AI tools."

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we raise
the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives we
want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by
becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or
supporting our programs.
