About us
Who we are
We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a human and create a better future for them.
Autism AI Research Institute is a Delaware Nonprofit Nonstock Corporation. With the rise in autism cases globally and in the USA along with shrinking care and resources Sarim founded the initiative to use AI and technology to elevate the standard of autism care.
Joined by Peter Hartl and Zubair Ahmed, who share a passion for social impact, the mission is to provide advanced tools, promote inclusivity, and drive awareness. AI is not a replacement for human care but a powerful supplement, enabling more tailored and effective interventions for individuals with autism and their families. The future promises even more personalized support through technology.
