Ryan Foley, a second-year student from De la Salle College in Dublin, created 'Dyslexia Learning AI' to support learning. He recognizes that people with dyslexia learn differently, responding positively to various learning styles. His AI app emphasizes the importance of text-to-speech and color backgrounds to aid comprehension and facilitate better study habits for those with dyslexia.
Ryan explained, 'I wanted to create something that helps you understand the problem rather than just solving it. It will walk you through how to answer the question rather than handing it to you.' This approach highlights his commitment to promoting understanding and not merely offering quick solutions.
Ms. Kelly, Ryan's Maths teacher, highlighted the positive impact of his invention: 'It can break large portions of text to help them better understand questions making learning much more accessible.' This reinforces the pivotal role innovative tools can play in supporting dyslexic students.
The exhibition opened with President Michael D Higgins stressing the ethical use of science, stating, 'It's paramount that our advancements serve humanity and do not lead to developments that harm our society, especially technologies intended for weapons.' This underscores a moral imperative in the scientific community.
