Facebook AI Fills In the Photo Blanks for Blind Users

Facebook on Monday introduced automated alt text, a new tool that describes what's in an image to help visually impaired users engage more on the site.

The feature is available for iOS users in the U.S., the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
