And, unsurprisingly, the corporations with the deepest pockets—those throwing $,$,$$$ at hiring researchers, hoarding data, and training massive models—are leading the pack.

Many apps are starting to integrate AI devices directly on the device. This approach is great for frequent inferences (like instant photo filters or real-time object detection) where speed and offline access are key.

And since everything that runs on your device can be accessed by your device, a golden window of opportunity arises for all those who are curious enough to take a look.

Microsoft’s Seeing AI app, dubbed the “talking camera for the blind,” is a helpful piece of technology. You can point it at objects, documents, and even currency, and it will audibly describe what it sees, text-to-speech.

One of its standout features is currency detection, which supports over 17 different currencies and recognizes 225 unique bills. It’s a great tool for accessibility, enabling visually impaired users to independently identify money without relying on others.
