The power of technology to transform lives was brought into sharp focus at a recent Global Woman Club meeting, where our CEO, Eleni Aslani, had the privilege of meeting Professor Margarita Chli, a trailblazer in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Professor Chli’s work transcends the realm of theoretical innovation. Her mission is profoundly human: to develop drones that can detect and analyze natural disasters like wildfires, avalanches, and tsunamis, providing crucial information that saves lives. This purpose-driven approach to technology struck a chord with Eleni, highlighting the immense potential for AI and robotics to serve humanity.

In a world where resources are sometimes directed towards seemingly esoteric pursuits – like teaching robots to play the violin – Professor Chli’s work serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact technology can have when focused on addressing real-world challenges. Her dedication to building drones for disaster relief underscores the importance of prioritizing human lives above all else.

What’s even more inspiring is that this transformative innovation is being led by a woman from a small island like Cyprus. Professor Chli’s courage, energy, and unwavering commitment to purpose-driven innovation demonstrate that impactful change can come from anywhere. Her story is a testament to the power of vision and determination.

Eleni’s encounter with Professor Chli resonated deeply, reinforcing the core values of the Global Woman Club: to support and uplift women who are making a positive impact on the world. Professor Chli’s work embodies the spirit of leadership and innovation that the club champions.

This meeting served as a powerful call to action: to support and amplify the voices of leaders who are turning bold ideas into life-saving action. It’s a reminder that technology, when harnessed for good, can be a powerful force for positive change.

Let’s rally behind leaders like Professor Margarita Chli, who are using their expertise to create a safer and more resilient world.
