Mozilla Firefox browser aims to increase browsing accessibility by using artificial intelligence. Tarek ZIade on Mozilla Hacks in post How Firefox will use AI to improve accessibility, meaning it will offer AI-generated image captions to people who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers Open the light kladi.
Although image captions or alternative text provide readers with the necessary context, many authors ignore the alternative text. With the latest artificial intelligence developments, a local machine learning model will be run to automatically generate subtitles without sending potentially sensitive information to the servers. Firefox 130 will ship with a new PDF editor feature in the Nightly Channel, which will generate alt text using machine learning models based on tiny open source Transformer.
According to the blog post, the small models can generate alt text with over 200 million parameters while taking up less than 200 MB of disk space and providing output in a few seconds. Firefox doesn’t want to overwhelm users with details by focusing on producing a one-sentence description like this: “A group of people in an office, a burning birthday cake in the foreground, and a smiling woman in the background.” ±celebrate with doing.â€
Mozilla underlines that they provide privacy, resource efficiency, increased transparency, carbon footprint tracking and ease of remediation by using a local and small model.
