Max Salamonowicz, Head of AI at MIGAM, joins the show with a powerful sense of purpose: to bring real-time, AI-powered sign language interpretation to the Deaf community. He walks us through the misconceptions that plague Deaf accessibility, the technical hurdles of building an ASL model that works in 3D, and why AI developers in healthcare carry a responsibility far bigger than just product success.

We explore:

🔍 Why captions aren’t enough—and how deaf users are being left behind
🧠 The challenge of building a 3D AI language model for ASL
💬 What Netflix, Zoom, and patient portals are missing today
🤝 How to actually built trust in a startup team—through overcoming hardship
⚡ Why practice managers need to overcome ‘automation anxiety’
