I have done some study on the use of artificial intelligence for providing
automatic alternate text for images by facebook. The article is here.

Hope this helps.

Karthik,

If there is any software out there that says it does this, I wouldn't trust it. The computing power and artificial intelligence Facebook uses is not something that would fit in most development environments - and even then, it's not perfect.

Alternative text is content, and in almost every case, should be provided by the person who wrote the rest of the text on the page. It's picked up by search engines, and is used whenever pictures can't be or aren't being displayed, so the audience is likely to wider than some might think. It has to be treated with the same care as the text in your headings, links, etc.

Right now, only a human can do a good job of authoring alternative text.

I'd second what Sarah said.

Part of having a text alternative is knowing whether the text serves
the *equivalent
purpose* to the non-text content (image, etc.). A machine-based solution
isn't yet at a point where it knows what the purpose behind the non-text
content is all the time, so having a human check over things is still the
best option.

Taking images as an example, all I use a tool for is to catch images that
are missing their *alt attribute*. When I see those I know to check the
content around the images to see if there's an alternative there (and also
know to highlight that an alt attribute needs adding, whether we add text
to the attribute or not). I'll then manually check every image that *does* have
an alt attribute to make sure it makes sense for the purpose of the image.
I wouldn't trust a machine or software to do that kind of nuanced check,
yet.

Although I am not opposed to AI, I do second Sarah. AI still has a long way to go despite the major progress it has accomplished.

I think that even at its peak AI will never be smarter than the human mind. It can assist humans just like operating systems and database systems do. However, the bottom line remains can AI analyze without previous knowledge what is occurring? In other words, can it predict or hypothesize like a human mind can?

Notice that on Facebook, it states "Possible or possibly." If I ask my sighted wife, she can immediately tell me oh, "this is a picture of a male with black hair, brown eyes, bla, bla, bla"

So having that definite and not possible description is critical to a sightless user.

Yep.

However, the bottom line remains can AI analyze without previous knowledge what is occurring? In other words, can it predict or hypothesize like a human mind can?

In some circumstances, it can produce the same results. Which is the Turing test - if you can't tell how it happened, but you can't tell the difference in the outcome, then it works. It's just a more complicated version of something like a taste test. In some cases, AI can do the job. In others, it gets it horribly wrong.

For the near future, I wouldn't consider it a reliable tool - "mostly better than nothing" is probably a better assessment. And to a certain extent that is by relying on the intelligence of the person being given the information, which after all is part of what communication is about.

It's getting better. Apparently fast now, if you discount the decades already invested. And if you have access to someone's very powerful systems... but it's something that can help, rather than a clear solution, at least for now.

We have a website which is similar to facebook where people of
particular community share their thoughts picks etc. wondering whether
the computer vision API meets our needs.
