The Ask AI interview with Melissa Kargiannakis, Founder & CEO, Skritswap
Special thanks to Microsoft Canada and Cinchy for sponsoring the third series of the Ask AI podcast and supporting greater awareness of artificial intelligence in Canada. All of our episodes and 100s of AI profiles are also available from our chatbot, generously sponsored by Toronto’s Ada Support.
Almost half of Canadian and American adults (aged 18-65) have literacy levels considered as low, meaning that they can read, but not well enough to fill an online job application.
When you hit over the age of 65, that number doubles. Our literacy level changes over the course of our lives and organizations must understand the importance of making language accessible for their employees and customers.
Tune in to this episode of the Ask AI podcast and learn how Melissa Kargiannakis, founder and CEO of Skritswap, the Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario based startup, helps organizations simplify the way they communicate by applying artificial intelligence to complex documents and jargon in order to make language clear, accessible and easy-to-understand.
