In this episode of the Women in Industry podcast, Dr. Pauldy Otermans discusses her mission to democratize education through AI technology. As the co-founder of the Otermans Institute, she aims to upscale 750 million learners globally by providing access to personalized education via AI teachers. The conversation explores the challenges of accessibility, the importance of addressing bias in AI, and the potential for AI to cater to neurodiverse learners. Dr. Otermans also introduces Teddy AI, a tool designed to empower parents in their children's educational journeys, highlighting the transformative power of technology in education. The best advice Pauldy ever received is “Build with purpose, not for applause” and her work perfectly encompasses this with over 45,000 learners served globally across 4 continents so far (and this is just the beginning!).
