Chris McCausland: AI Through a Blind Comedian’s Eyes
Imagine using AI to tell you who's smiling at your jokes, and then turning that into the punchline. That's exactly what Chris McCausland does.
Chris is a blind British stand-up comedian who's become an unlikely champion of AI technology. Fresh off his historic Strictly Come Dancing win, he's using his platform to show how artificial intelligence is transforming accessibility, and mining it for comedy gold along the way. From AI apps that describe audiences to self-driving cars in Silicon Valley, Chris navigates a world where technology doesn't just assist him, it inspires him.
In this episode, we explore Chris's unique relationship with AI: how the iPhone revolutionised his independence, why he's a self-proclaimed tech geek at heart, and how he's turned assistive technology into stand-up material. We'll hear about his new BBC documentary exploring cutting-edge innovations, his experiments with AI age-guessing apps, and why he believes "accessibility creates a better experience for everybody."
This is a story about seeing AI differently, quite literally. It's about humor meeting technology, independence meeting innovation, and how one comedian is showing us that the future of AI isn't just functional, it's funny.
