How AI Can Bridge the Deaf and Hearing Worlds
Software engineer Adam Munder is on a mission to break down communication barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds.
In a live demo, he introduces OmniBridge — an AI platform that translates American Sign Language into English text in real time — and demonstrates how this tech could ensure every conversation can be fully understood, regardless of the participants' hearing abilities.
Munder is joined onstage by ASL interpreter Christan Hansen and TED’s Hasiba Haq.
Adam Munder is a pioneering advocate for breaking down communication barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds.
Inspired by his own experience of navigating the hearing world with limited access to designated interpreters, he cofounded OmniBridge, an Intel-backed venture that seeks to create a more inclusive world by leveraging AI to enable communication between spoken and signed languages.
The Goal:
To ensure that every conversation can be fully understood, regardless of the participants' hearing abilities.
