Autism and Artificial Intelligence: How One Black Father Is Supporting His Daughter?

It was just after her first birthday that the parents of Journee Perry noticed that she was not verbalizing as expected for a one-year-old. Her father, Ira Perry, comes to The Offshoot Podcast to tell what it was like learning that his youngest child of nine was on the spectrum for autism. There was a lot of waiting for professional assistance and a lack of resources, so instead of passing the time waiting for appointments, he turned to artificial intelligence.

Perry is utilizing his entrepreneurial expertise to mitigate the time it takes to determine if and where children are on the spectrum for autism. He has launched an AI platform, https://klongen.ai, that will assist professionals in diagnosing autism more quickly, and that AI platform, thereby, will help children more easily adapt to social norms and calm traits like anxiety and over stimulation. The holographic technology, Klonggen AI, helps families and their children with autism by keeping consistent the familiarity that those on the spectrum need to calm anxiousness and better understand their surroundings.

On this episode of The Offshoot Podcast, listen to how this one Black father is supporting his daughter, and how he plans to share Klongen AI, with others, professionals, to ensure that children with autism are up to par with their peers. https://klongen.ai.
