10 Years, 10 Solvers: From 14 Days to Under 60 Minutes—Revolutionizing Radiology Reporting with Rology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ask Amr Abodraiaa what Rology looks like from the patient's side, and the answer is: nothing at all. Invisibility is the design goal. What the patient gets is the result. Rology was selected as a 2023 Health Solver. Amr came to the problem as an engineer rather than a doctor, co-founding the company in 2017 to connect hospitals with a global network of remote radiologists. Rology is now FDA-cleared and has delivered more than 1.4 million radiology reports across 13 countries in Africa and the Mi
Nabiha Syed on Human-Scale AI and What We Shouldn't Build (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nabiha Syed has been a media lawyer, a newsroom CEO, and now leads the Mozilla Foundation—three careers, one question: does technology hand people power, or quietly take it away? She and Hala Hanna get into human-scale AI, why trust is becoming the only real moat, and the things we shouldn't build at all. Plus: toasters, aunties, and why curiosity is a birthright.

10 Years, 10 Solvers: Helena Samsioe on Going from Launching a Product to Launching a New Industry with Crowddroning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Helena Samsioe had been to more than 50 countries before she turned 15. Her parents worked as doctors across Africa and Asia, and that upbringing taught her something that would eventually become a business: the world looks completely different depending on where you are standing. Satellites flatten that difference. Clouds get in the way, resolution drops off, and the closer to the ground the real story lives, the more the picture falls apart. Helena is our fourth guest in the 10 Years, 10 Solve
Open Source Is Mischief: Ayah Bdeir on Building a Better AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Snap two magnetic blocks together, and a light comes on. In that second, wonder becomes pride because you made it. Ayah Bdeir built a career on that distinction. littleBits, her magnetic electronics kits, turned millions of kids from tech users into inventors and now sit in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Today she runs Current AI, working with governments, philanthropies, and builders to make public-interest AI real at scale. The reason: the AI we've been handed is the ant
NPR's Katherine Maher on Leading "Without Fear or Favor" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do millions of strangers come to trust one another enough to share a common reality? In this episode of The Solve Effect, we welcome Katherine Maher, President and CEO of NPR and former CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation. Katherine has spent her career building and leading the institutions that help us make sense of the world together—Wikipedia, Signal, and now public media, at a moment when trust in nearly every one of those institutions is under strain. Tune into a conversation all about: The
