Ioana TanaseIoana Tanase, AI and Accessibility Program Manager, Microsoft  

Ioana was 32 when she found out she is dyslexic. At that time, she didn’t understand dyslexia, but a lot of things were suddenly making sense – including why her typos are a bit of Schrodinger’s cat (she can’t spot them, but everyone else can). Ioana works at the intersection of AI and accessibility, making sure AI models are representative of people with disabilities.
