About AIXA
`{`Eye_Eesh_Uh`}`
Born from the mind of Jamenglican (JAM/UK/USA) UX Designer, Producer and Artist
Dorsh, AIXA was designed and developed to help people decode ‘tech speak’. Positioned eloquently as a supplemental experience from his second studio album “UI|UX”, AIXA is the world’s first afro-centric AI tech term chatbot.
CHANGING THE NARRATIVE
Over 86% of participants surveyed, perceived the name “Ayesha” to be “ghetto”. The idea behind the bot is to change the narrative around how we think about minorities (and their names) in tech, especially its most invisible citizens, black women.
BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS
Minority groups face social barriers to learning Computer Science (CS), such as the continuing perception that CS is only for certain groups, namely White or Asian males. However, AIXA is directly working to change that perception.
Our Goals
Diversity and inclusion is a constant, pervasive issue, but ‘out-of-touch” corporate organizations continue to struggle with making an impact in minority communities.
SHOW THEM
AIXA is committed to nurturing users
through the intricate world of ‘tech speak’.
TEACH THEM
Following the old adage “teach a man how to fish”,
AIXA is adopting this philosophy.
LEARN THEM
Using Machine Learning and Natural
Language Processing technology, AIXA
is built to learn through conversation.
The Crew
We believe in a diverse range of personnel to bring creative skills,
thoughts, and ideas to the table.
