project has led me to think of innovative ideas to serve our society and create a difference in people’s lives.
The thought behind all innovation is a compassionate heart, full of empathy and love for those in need.
A living example of this is Satya Nadella, Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft. He has taught me about empathy and compassion from a business point of view. These companies have an empathetic approach to innovation and want to help those in need using technology. Many tools and devices are already being used to assist the disabled, such as vehicles with wheelchair accessibility, font to help dyslexia and many more revolutionary inventions. Nadella talks about compassion based technology that helps people learn, practice and succeed. Advances in technology have led to discoveries such as Artificial Intelligence or Virtual Reality. Other than using Artificial Intelligence for convenience, it can also benefit the disabled. An example could be a machine used to convey speech and sound to the hearing impaired. These devices can notify sounds such as alarms, vibration and human activity to those with hearing
disabilities.
Artificial Intelligence can also aid with communication. Google has come up with a translator that can translate phrases in most languages. It uses Neural Machine Translation (NMT) to convert speech into other words accurately.
Feeling others emotions is a skill that not everyone can possess, only those who are empathetic, innovative and confident can truly understand the power of empathy and the effect it has in a business mindset. Technology is being used to quickly and efficiently diagnose and cure diseases. Compassion is the root of all these discoveries, someone wanting to make a change in all lives. Empathy leads to innovation and creation. These innovations create a positive difference in lives of millions around the world. Using compassion, children of today will revolutionize the world and impact future forever.
