Transcript: Hello! I'm Ravi. Now becoming increasingly common around the world, hearing people are using AI through speech, writing, and other tools to improve their lives and work. But what about us deaf and hard of hearing people? Maybe you're unsure, or have some hesitations or worries. Perhaps you don't know where to start. Perfect - that's exactly what this is for! Deaf Victoria and I are hosting a breakfast event where you'll see me demonstrate how to use different types of AI to suit all kinds of situations. For example, cleaning up your resume, developing an app idea you've had in mind, or a business idea where the admin side feels a bit overwhelming. AI can help with all of that.
