The Journey from Iran to America

Growing up in a small village in the South Eastern desert of Iran, I never imagined the life I would eventually lead. My family faced a grave threat from the government, forcing us to escape the country and become illegal immigrants in Turkey. We spent several years living in a refugee Camp until we were granted political asylum and the opportunity to start afresh in the United States. This was a pivotal moment for me, as it gave me access to the American education system and opened up a world of possibilities.

The Power of Education and Technology

Having struggled to understand the culture and language of my new home, I immersed myself in math and science. In middle school, I taught myself complex subjects like quantum mechanics and differential equations. My passion for these fields led me to work at NASA when I was just 16 years old. Throughout my academic journey, I started and sold multiple companies, realizing the incredible opportunities that education and technology can provide.

The Importance of Impact Investments

As I stand here at Davos during the World Economic Forum, I am reminded of the immense work we have ahead of us to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. However, I firmly believe that with the right investments in technology and a commitment to making the world a better place, we can overcome any obstacle. Impact investments have proven to be successful, often outperforming traditional investments. By directing our resources towards technologies that can create a massive positive impact on billions of people, we can make a significant difference.

The Role of Personalized Learning in Education

Currently, only 6.6% of the global population holds a college degree. While this metric may not be a perfect indicator, it highlights the need for accessible education worldwide. Imagine what would happen if we could increase the number of engineers, scientists, doctors, philosophers, researchers, and coders tenfold. By tapping into the untapped intellectual capital of the human race, we can address the most intractable problems we face. Personalized learning is a key element in this Quest, as it enables students to learn at their own pace based on their unique needs.

Solving the Challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

The fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us, and with it comes the potential loss of millions of jobs due to automation and artificial intelligence. Unlike previous revolutions, we have a limited timeframe to retrain the workforce and equip them with the skills needed for the future job market. At Hurray, we are addressing this challenge by launching a beta product that allows companies to retrain their employees using our personalized learning technology. Additionally, we are inviting individuals and corporations to join us on this journey by becoming early adopters and helping Shape the future of work.

Hurray's Solution: Faster and More Affordable Education

At Hurray, we have developed a groundbreaking technology that accelerates the learning process by three to five times compared to traditional education. By collecting over 10,000 biometric data points per Second, we personalize the educational experience for each user. Factors such as nutritional intake, sleep Patterns, activity levels, and even personal emotions play a role in determining the optimal way to deliver and retain information. Through extensive research, we have also discovered the impact of various elements, such as the speaker's accent, tempo, tone, race, gender, clothing choices, and background color, on the absorption of information.

Addressing Youth Unemployment in Africa

While our focus is on revolutionizing education worldwide, we are also committed to making a positive impact in underserved communities. In collaboration with the Africa 10 initiative, founded by Kojo Anan and the late Kofi Annan, we are rolling out 30,000 free licenses to young people in Ghana and Nigeria. These countries face a significant youth unemployment problem, and by providing them with the necessary skills, we aim to empower them to secure remote jobs at Western corporations. Our partnership with an organization called Hugo ensures that job opportunities are readily available immediately after completing the training, fostering the growth of these communities from the ground up.

Ethics in Artificial Intelligence

As the field of artificial intelligence advances, it is crucial to address the ethical implications. Data ownership, privacy, and responsible use of AI are of utmost importance. At Hurray, we place a strong emphasis on ethical practices. We commit to not selling any user data to governments or allowing corporations to use it for intrusive Advertising without explicit agreements and full user agency. We call upon fellow tech companies and leaders to join us in making similar commitments to protect privacy and ensure ethical AI practices.

Taking Responsibility as Entrepreneurs and Investors

As entrepreneurs and investors, we hold significant responsibility in shaping the future. Every dollar we invest and every decision we make should Align with our values and support organizations that prioritize ethical data practices. By voting with our resources, we can create a world that respects privacy, protects individuals' data, and ultimately provides a brighter future for our global community.

Conclusion

Now is the time for bold action and radical innovation. Together, through education, technology, and impactful investments, we can overcome global challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
