Over the course of three days the facilitators of the workshop taught all about AI. They taught what exactly is artificial intelligence, how it is used, where it is used and what AI holds for the future. After the workshop was over, three months later a webinar was conducted. The facilitators told the students to come up with problems that could be solved using AI. They said that they would choose 10 ideas given by the students from all over India. They would mentor these students by one on one webinar sessions to help make them an AI project. Talia’s project was selected.
She created a project called the Sign Language Translator. With the help of her mentor she created a software that could translate sign language to a commonly used language such as English. She created this to enhance better communication with the disabled people mainly the deaf and dumb.
Two months later her project was showcased in the Intel AI virtual symposium on 13th of October. It was showcased and viewed by people from all over India, Dubai, and the USA. The project was a part of the AI for youth social impact projects.
It was a six-month long process of attending the workshop, getting mentorship, creating the project and finally showcasing it.
