AI4Good. We talk about this often but haven't focused a lot of time on understanding the 'good' part of this phrase. It is women like Shiran Somech who are using AI technologies that truly have a global social impact.   She has found the perfect blend of her two (2) primary passions of AI technologies and wants to make a visible social impact on women's rights. Our discussion talks about her initial idea and carrying that forward from concept to reality, leveraging AI Technologies to create something that may not have been possible five (5) years ago.   

Social Media Campaign 'Listen to my Voice' An AI-based campaign speaking up against domestic violence uses AI technologies to bring the voices of women murdered by their initimate partners who are no longer here to tell us their stories.   Our conversation covers the partnerships, the impact, and some technology challenges she had overcome in bringing this campaign to life.  This could not have been possible without the support of the families. To realize this concept, collaborate with non-profit government partners, tech creators, and sponsors. As a result of its extraordinary success, the campaign is now being duplicated around the world: https://www.listentoourvoices.co/en/. 

Volunteer Special Projects Tochnit Saleet, is a program sponsored by the Ministry of Welfare & Tel Aviv Municipality to help women break out of the sex-work cycle and integrate into the hi-tech workforce.
