Breaking Language and Cultural Barriers Gnani.ai launched groundbreaking Agentic AI systems that understand regional customs and communication styles. For example, their health advice bots now recognize local beliefs about medicine in areas like Southeast Asia and rural Africa. The AI uses culturally trained datasets to avoid misunderstandings, offering translations for 150+ languages and dialects. This helps elderly users and people with low literacy access critical services through voice commands or simple menus.

Cybersecurity for All At Dubai’s GISEC Global 2025, Microsoft demonstrated how AI defenders protect vulnerable groups. Their phishing triage agent automatically flags suspicious emails in Arabic, English, and Hindi, which is vital for multinational workforces. This system reduces alert fatigue for IT teams, letting them focus on threats targeting disabled employees’ accounts or non-native speakers.

Workplace Inclusion Tools ServiceNow’s new AI Agent platform helps companies build accessible workflows. One feature lets agents convert complex documents into audio summaries or visual guides, aiding workers with dyslexia or vision impairments. The platform also coordinates tasks across HR, IT, and facilities teams to quickly resolve accessibility requests like installing ramps or adjusting screen readers.

Education and Rural Access While not covered in this week’s top stories, experts note growing efforts to use Agentic AI in schools. Early trials in India show AI tutors adapting lessons for deaf students using sign language avatars. However, challenges remain in areas with poor internet connectivity, where offline-capable agents are still in development.
