How sovereign funds could empower the future of assistive technology and disability AI
By 2050, it's predicted that 3.5 billion people will need one or more assistive technology products. Here's how sovereign funds can close the funding gap.
Yonah's mission is to shape the future of algorithmic diversity - algorithms and policy addressing neuroinclusion, invisible disabilities and human capacity such as social and human-centered AI, emerging learning, work, wellbeing and city solutions. It includes working with national, public and private projects, co-developing emerging technologies in the field, contributing to policy and ethics frameworks, curating experiential projects. Driven by their own journey, Yonah has spent over 60 world appearances to bring awareness to the neuroexclusion crisis.
