BRUSSELS – In Poznan, 325 kilometers (200 miles) east of Warsaw, a team of tech researchers, engineers, and child caregivers are working on a small revolution. Their joint project, “Insension,” uses facial recognition powered by artificial intelligence to help children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities interact with others and with their surroundings, becoming more connected with the world. It is a testament to the power of this quickly advancing technology.
