Ms Rosita Apaza Machaca:

I can walk around a supermarket and identify what aisle I am in or ask the glasses what is in my hand, if I am looking for a particular brand, or I can ask it to read the cooking instructions on something. It is nice for me not to have to rely on a third party to read those things to me. The thing I like about the glasses is there is a lot more privacy. If I use seeing AI on my phone, it reads everything out publicly in the middle of a shop. It is much better for me to have it here. It is also the ability to do things independently that I have not been able to do in years. In one respect it is an absolute boon but I wonder what I am giving away at the same time, which of my rights am I giving away when I use this facility. How much of my data like my shopping habits, even the locality where I live, am I giving away? I have privacy concerns on that end. At the other end, it is a great tool for independence. It can be further developed to assist better with identifying postboxes, for example. As a tool, AI is a good thing but it needs to be tempered with the fact that we need to protect our privacy. I am finding the balance quite difficult because you are basically telling a computer everything about you. Would I walk up to a random stranger and tell them everything about my life? Absolutely not. I do not want to be doing this to a computer that could be anywhere on the planet.
