AI-powered Society | Simeone Scaramozzino & Andreas Forsland

 

Almost half a billion people worldwide have a speech disability, yet only 3% of them have access to technology that could help them connect and interact with the world around them.

Imagine what the world could look like if each of these people were empowered? To contribute their voices. To share their ideas. To express their full potential. We could have artists, scientists, creators, engineers, change-makers, philosophers, and more among us with undiscovered talents that could revolutionise society.

This has been the mission of Santa Barbara, California-based company Cognixion since its founding in 2014 — to unlock self-expression, connection, and inclusion for those who may otherwise be marginalised.

Andreas Forsland, Founder & CEO of Cognixion, joined Simeone Scaramozzino, Chapter Leader of Transformative Technology Milan, in a virtual event to discuss how Cognixion is developing affordable and accessible technology and getting it into the hands of more people who need it.
