Lighthouse Guild Launches AI-Driven Adaptive Tech Initiative, With Meta as First Partner

NEW YORK—Lighthouse Guild, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing services to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, has announced the launch of Lighthouse Guild AI (LGAI), a new initiative dedicated to co-developing adaptive technology with leading technology partners, including Meta, the initiative's first official partner. LGAI places blind leadership at the center of technology design, the organization said, advancing innovation that is built by, and for, the blind and low-vision community. Initial focus areas for LGAI include navigation, travel and obstacle detection, which are capabilities that have the potential to reshape independence and mobility for millions of people with vision loss.
