AI-powered alert system brings life-saving disaster warnings to Pakistan’s deaf community

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s ConnectHear, a social enterprise promoting disability inclusion, in collaboration with a telecom giant, on Wednesday launched an artificial intelligence-powered early warning system designed to deliver life-saving alerts in sign language to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. The system, called SUNO — meaning “listen” in Urdu — is funded by the GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation Fund and aims to close a critical gap in disaster communication by ensuring deaf individuals receive real-time alerts during emergencies such as floods and earthquakes.
