Our story
About AI Onward
AI Onward did not begin as an organization. It began with three observations.
How this began
The first came when Naaisha founded AI Visionaries as a high school freshman after realizing that many students wanted to explore how Artificial Intelligence could be applied beyond coding.
The second came through conversations with her younger sister, Sayoni, and many of their friends. They noticed that girls were curious about AI but often lacked welcoming spaces where they could confidently learn, experiment, and build.
The third came much closer to home. While helping their grandfather (“Daadu”) and several of his friends begin using AI, Naaisha and Sayoni realized that many older adults were excited about AI but simply didn’t know where to start.
