UKUSUKA EZWELITSHA UKUYA EHLABATHINI: IIGLASI EZIKRELEKRELE ZE-AI ZIKA-ELIHLE STALI ZITSALA UMDLA WAMAZWE NGAMAZWE
Umvelisi omtsha waseZwelitsha eBuffalo City, uElihle Stali (24), ubonisa ukuba izimvo ezinokuguqula ihlabathi zinokuvela kwiindawo zethu.
UStali, ongumsunguli we-Spectacles4TheBlind SA, ungene kwiingxoxo ezithembisayo nenkampani yamazwe ngamazwe enokunceda ekuveliseni ngobuninzi iiglasi zakhe ezikrelekrele ezisebenzisa i-Artificial Intelligence (AI) ukunceda abantu abangaboni kakuhle ehlabathini lonke. Eli linyathelo elikhulu kuhambo olwaqala kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo eMpuma Koloni.
Waqala ukubonisa olu luvo kwi-Eskom Expo for Young Scientists ngo-2019. Ukusukela ngoko uqhubekile nokuphuhlisa obu buchwepheshe, etshintsha iprojekthi yesayensi yesikolo yaba sisixhobo esiphambili sokunceda abantu abangaboni kakuhle.
Ukhuthazo lwale mveliso luvela kumava akhe obuqu. Ekhulela eZwelitsha, uStali wayechitha ixesha enceda umakhulu wakhe owayengaboni kakuhle kwizinto zemihla ngemihla. Ukubona imingeni awayejongene nayo kwamkhuthaza ukuba afumane isisombululo sobuchwepheshe esinokubuyisela inkululeko nesidima kubantu abangaboni kakuhle.
Ngaphantsi kwenkampani yakhe, Spectacles4TheBlind SA, uStali uphuhlise iiglasi ezikwaziyo ukunceda abasebenzisi bahambe ngokukhuselekileyo, bachonge izinto ezibangqongileyo, baze bafumane ulwazi ngelizwi. Ezi glasi zikwaxhasa iilwimi ezininzi zaseMzantsi Afrika, nto leyo ezenza zilungele uluntu lwasekhaya ngelixa zisombulula umngeni ojongene nehlabathi.
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uStali wafumana ingqwalasela kwilizwe liphela emva kokusungula iphulo lokuqokelela inkxaso-mali ukuze abonise olu buchwepheshe kumazwe ngamazwe. Abantu abaninzi baseMzantsi Afrika bamxhasa, bekholelwa kumbono wakhe wokwenza obu buchwepheshe bufikeleleke ngakumbi.
Ngoku, iingxoxo nabenzi bamazwe ngamazwe zisondeza iphupha lakhe ekubeni yinyani. Ukuba intsebenziswano iyaphumelela, iiglasi zakhe zingaveliswa ngobuninzi zize zifikelele kubantu abangaboni kakuhle kwihlabathi liphela.
Kubantu baseBuffalo City, eZwelitsha naseMpuma Koloni, impumelelo kaStali sisizathu sokuzingca. Ibali lakhe libonisa ukuba ukuzimisela, ubuchule kunye nenkxaso yoluntu zinokuguqula iphupha lobuntwana libe sisisombululo esinokutshintsha ubomi babantu kwihlabathi liphela.
Njengoko umdla wamazwe ngamazwe uqhubeka ukhula, uElihle Stali akamele nje kuphela ubuchule baseMzantsi Afrika, kodwa ukwakhuthaza isizukulwana esitsha sabavelisi abatsha ukuba basebenzise itekhnoloji ukusombulula iingxaki zokwenyani.
