IVOW (Intelligent Voices of Wisdom) is an early stage startup focusing on cultural intelligence in AI.
Our products and services address a much-needed aspect of consumer engagement: the convergence of artificial intelligence to preserve culture.
Our Mission
Data is ubiquitous. We have a unique lens. We are technologists and storytellers enhancing consumer engagement through the lens of culture and artificial intelligence. Our north star is to make data culturally relevant.
CURRENT PROJECT
WOMEN IN HISTORY DATASET
IDEATION CHALLENGE
Together with TopCoder, IVOW is leading the Women in History Data Ideation Challenge with the goal of creating an algorithm which will help create the first comprehensive dataset with the stories of the women that have helped shape arts, science and culture throughout history. We're inviting participants to sign up for the challenge today and contribute to making AI more inclusive!
THE CHALLENGE
Help us find public data sources about women throughout history.
How can we structure collected data in a machine readable way? How can we collect data from audio and video recordings and convert them to text format? How can we get data from ancient texts?
Think you are up for the challenge?

RECENT PROJECT
Indigenous Knowledge Graph
Bringing Cultural Context to Artificial Intelligence
With the creation of our Indigenous Knowledge Graph we use the format of indigenous food wisdom from Timor-Leste, and Native American cultures to demonstrate how creating structure around the stories of our ancestors can foster deeply inclusive cultural intelligence in machines and conversational AIs. The demo graph was also realised through the voice of Sina, IVOW's conversational AI.

As the daughter of an architect and a scholar, I grew up appreciating culture and history. In my career as a journalist in public media for 25 years, most of those at NPR News, I designed stories anchored in multiculturalism and steeped in historical context. I'm excited to launch into this next era of storytelling.
