Signals of Provenance: Practices & Challenges of Navigating Indicators in AI-Generated Media for Sighted and Blind Individuals
A withdrawn research paper from arXiv explored the challenges and practices of identifying AI-generated media for both sighted and blind individuals. The study, which involved interviews with 28 participants, found that current AI indicators are often missed, particularly by visually impaired users who rely more on content-based cues like titles and comments rather than visual or menu-aided labels. The research highlighted usability issues such as inconsistent indicator placement and unclear metadata, especially for users with disabilities. AI
