Simran Kaur: emoTune: Adaptive AI Assistance for Autistic Users
emoTune: Adaptive AI Assistance for Autistic Users.
Simran Kaur developed emoTune, an AI-based assistive-technology approach for people with autism spectrum disorder. The project’s user-adaptive framing recognises that effective support cannot assume every person interprets sensory and social information in the same way.
Innovation mindset: Personalisation should begin with neurological diversity, not be added after a “standard” user has already been defined.
Official project title: emoTune: New AI-Based Approaches to Assistive Technology for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder (Behavioral and Social Sciences).
