AI for Good Innovate for Impact

IRISBOND: Contributes eye-tracking technology through their Hiru camera, providing precise
tracking across platforms and conditions.

NVIDIA: All of our partner companies are either founding members of NVIDIA's Inception
program (D-ID and ElevenLabs), or we have migrated them into the program. Our CTO, Thorsten
Stremlau, formerly Lenovo's CTO and part of Stephen Hawking's IT team before working with
our founder Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan, is now at NVIDIA. Working with the foundation's Chief
Engineer and Distinguished Engineer Eric Kern at Lenovo, the two provide AI expertise and
enable real-time processing of complex AI models across our ecosystem of technologies.

Zero Project, CES, Lenovo Tech World: Provide platforms for global demonstrations, including
at Austrian Parliament and UN headquarters in Vienna.

Central to our success are multiple ALS participants serving as both testers and ambassadors,
ensuring solutions address real-world needs.

2�2 Benefits of the Use Case

The AI-powered communication platform offers significant benefits by improving mental health,
quality of life, and healthcare outcomes through enhanced communication capabilities. It
enables individuals to effectively communicate symptoms and needs to caregivers and medical
professionals, ensuring better healthcare support. In the realm of education, the platform
provides essential communication tools that facilitate learning and participation, supporting
multiple languages and adaptive interfaces to ensure inclusive education for all. The platform
showcases innovative infrastructure through the open ecosystem integration of cutting-edge
AI, creating a modular architecture that can continuously adapt to emerging technologies. By
making advanced communication tools accessible regardless of economic status and reducing
costs by 80% compared to medical-grade solutions, it helps bridge economic disparities.
Furthermore, the platform exemplifies successful multi-stakeholder collaboration across
nonprofits, corporations, startups, and users, laying the foundation for ongoing cross-sector
development and fostering a collaborative environment for future advancements.
