AI for Good was borne out of exploring the capabilities of public AI frameworks such a OpenCV, PyTorch and TensorFlow and using trained models such as OpenAI Whisper.  I built a number Python experiments targeted for the Mac and Raspberry Pi platforms to explore voice and vision processing capabilities.  Although I got them to work, I was dissatisfied by the fidelity of the results and the amount of coding effort needed to development and refine them.  I realised that it was difficult to tune these apps for the hardware capabilities for a general Python execution environment

I then turned to my old smart phone (an iPhone 8 at the time when the iPhone 15 was available) to understand its potential capabilities for similar applications.  I reasoned that the APIs, models and hardware had been tuned to potentially deliver superior audio and image processing capabilities

I am developing a handful of apps that help explore and demonstrate the application of AI and ML models
