Fonetic is an initiative to make public spaces more accessible with AI. We develop an maintain a device which can translate audio into output in the form and place that they prefer.

Our first instance was a device that was co-created with deaf- and hearing impaired people to translate public service announcements in the tram.

Using AI for All Amsterdammers

Featured image

Modern technologies can be used in various ways to make life easier. But if we’re not careful, these possibilities will mainly benefit people who already have it easy. What can technology mean for people who, for one reason or another, have a harder time in society, for example, because they are hard of hearing, have little money, or are immigrants?

The EU project CommuniCity encourages the development of tech solutions for and with various marginalized and/or vulnerable groups. This afternoon, we will present serveral of the pilots that were carried out over the past year, demonstrating how artificial intelligence and other technologies can contribute to the well-being of various residents of Amsterdam.
