RECOGNITION
ORIGIN STORY
Ravit’s entrepreneurial journey began after completing her Ph.D. in philosophy at UC Berkeley, where she specialized in the social and political aspects of science and machine learning, particularly their impact on social justice issues. The tumultuous events of 2020-2021—the pandemic, social unrest, environmental crises, and global conflicts—served as a catalyst, compelling her to transition from academia to industry. She felt an urgent need to apply her expertise to real-world challenges and promote responsible AI practices within the rapidly growing AI industry.
Initially, Ravit embarked on her entrepreneurial path as a solopreneur, offering consultancy services to companies seeking to develop AI more responsibly. Her focus encompassed critical issues such as bias mitigation, fairness, privacy protection, and accuracy enhancement. Concurrently, she conducted research, authored white papers, and created guidebooks on AI responsibility, securing grants and building a reputation as a thought leader in the field.
As Ravit’s influence grew, so did her audience. She now has over 30,000 followers, reached more than 2.5 million readers last year alone, and her research and public writing have garnered over 500,000 readers. This growing platform has allowed her to raise awareness about AI ethics and responsibility among both industry professionals and the general public.
By 2023, armed with stable revenue streams, extensive experience, and a clear vision, Ravit officially incorporated TechBetter. Her conviction to create positive social impact through promoting AI responsibility has only strengthened over time, fueled by my business success and the increasing relevance of ethical AI in our digital world.
