| contents | The paper explores the intersection of AI art and blindness, as existing AI research has primarily focused on AI art's reception and impact, on sighted artists and consumers. To address this gap, the researcher interviewed six blind artists from various visual art mediums and levels of blindness about the generative AI image platform Midjourney. The participants shared text prompts and discussed their reactions to the generated images with the sighted researcher. The findings highlight blind artists' interest in AI images as a collaborative tool but express concerns about cultural perceptions and labeling of AI-generated art. They also underscore unique challenges, such as potential misunderstandings and stereotypes about blindness leading to exclusion. The study advocates for greater inclusion of blind individuals in AI art, emphasizing the need to address their specific needs and experiences in developing AI art technologies. |
