Flesh and blood guide dogs are expensive and hard to train, and thus only available to a small minority of the visually impaired. Quadruped robots are an obvious alternative. It often gets lost in the wider debate, but disabled people of all kinds will probably get more benefits than most from AI & robotics.

I don't have to worry that a seeing eye dog will snitch on me.

An AI that describes a scene and reads out load any written text in the super fast way that blind people can listen to text sounds super usefull.
