iFlytek honored for advancing disability inclusion with AI

Chinese artificial intelligence company iFlytek is working hard to contribute to technology-assisted disability inclusion, and has been awarded with a national honor for its growing use of technology in empowerment initiatives.

The company focuses on creating an inclusive "AI-powered Caring Ecosystem" that enhances accessibility and opportunities for people with disabilities.

A digital accessibility consultant to enable barrier-free digital communication, enhancing professional capabilities for blind therapists, and using AI for post-blindness life navigator to provide psychological support and adaptive skills training.

Li's achievements reflect broader progress through iFlytek's open innovation ecosystem. As of May 18, the iFlytek Open Platform has attracted more than 8.5 million developers, offering 809 AI capabilities and incubating 3.32 million applications.

Its "TriVoice Initiative" AI philanthropy program has empowered 33,000 social developers to create 38,000 accessibility solutions, serving 14.04 million people with visual/hearing impairments through 50 million daily interactions.
