Hello, I'm Kai Kleinbard, a software developer, AI
specialist, and educator.
specialist, and educator.
I'm a computer and data scientist who loves to use deep learning and large language models to make things that are easy to use and friendly. I started Somatikai, a place where I explore how AI and body awareness work together. I also run bodyLITERATE, an organization that helps people who learn differently. And I created The Institute for Playful Beings and PlayLab, where I play with different ways of being and learning. I have a Masters Degree from UPenn, where I studied how to make digital tools more accessible for neuro-diverse learners. At Penn I assisted in research and teaching graduate algorithms and computational mathematics. I love math! When I'm not coding or designing algoirthms, I work with families at conflict with schools, supporting neurodivergent learners to obtain the supports they need. I learned Motivational Interviewing, a kind of therapy, from William R Miller, who invented it. Besides all that, I'm still a dancer and a martial artist at heart.
Projects and Current Research
I am curious about how we can somatize
the digital experience, which involves bridging the gap
between the physical and virtual worlds to create
a more immersive and embodied interaction with technology.
In this context, embodied means grounding the digital
experience in bodily sensations and physical presence, allowing
users to engage with technology in a more
natural and intuitive way.

I hope to use artificial intelligence to create
more accessible and equitable education experiences for neurodivergent
students. My goal is to make AI a
part of education that helps all students, especially
those who learn differently, feel included and supported.
I hope that by using AI in education,
we can bring people together and create a
kinder digital world where everyone can learn and
grow. Beyond this, I also believe we need
to create systems that are accountable to privacy
needs and fully transparent.
