During a fireside chat at the Equality Lounge in Davos, Deepak Chopra, M.D., and Janna Salokangas, Co-Founder and CEO of Mia AI, announced a groundbreaking partnership between Cyberhuman.ai, a pioneering AI-powered well-being platform co-founded by Chopra and Poonacha Machaiah, and Mia AI, a leading global AI learning platform.

A Shared Vision for AI and Inclusion

The partnership responds to critical global trends identified in the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2025 Report, highlighting the pressing need for inclusive solutions to address the workforce transformation brought about by AI and emerging technologies:

• Reskilling Imperative: Nearly 60% of the global workforce will require training by 2030, as 85% of employers prioritize upskilling initiatives to meet the demands of the evolving economy.
• Diversity Matters: 83% of employers have adopted diversity and inclusion strategies, recognizing the indispensable role of inclusivity in driving innovation, resilience, and societal progress.
• Skill Evolution: Analytical thinking, resilience, and leadership are among the most critical skills of the future, with 39% of existing skills requiring transformation to meet the demands of AI-driven industries.

Cyberhuman.ai and Mia AI aim to directly address these challenges by creating a framework for inclusive AI education that integrates well-being, empowering women to lead and innovate in the digital economy.

Empowering 1 Million Women by 2030

Mia AI’s bold mission to empower 1 million women with AI skills by 2030 will be accelerated by this partnership. Together, the organizations will develop tailored educational content, mentorship programs, and community-driven initiatives that inspire women to explore AI’s transformative potential.

Janna Salokangas, Co-Founder and CEO of Mia AI, emphasized the importance of this collaboration: “The future of AI is so much more than the technology—it’s about the people behind it. In an age where AI is reshaping industries and societies, emotional intelligence, authenticity, and instinct remain critical for navigating complex challenges and making meaningful decisions. Our partnership with Cyberhuman.ai will bridge the gap between innovation and inclusivity, ensuring that women worldwide have the tools, support, and well-being to shape their futures with confidence, purpose, and resilience.”

Holistic Well-Being Meets Cutting-Edge Technology

Cyberhuman.ai, the brainchild of globally renowned author and well-being advocate Deepak Chopra and technology pioneer Poonacha Machaiah, brings a unique perspective to the partnership. By integrating AI into personalized well-being practices, Cyberhuman.ai exemplifies how technology can enhance human potential while respecting individuality and emotional intelligence.

Poonacha Machaiah, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyberhuman.ai:

“Empowering women with AI skills is a critical step in shaping a future where technology serves humanity. Through this partnership, we aim to cultivate not only technical expertise but also holistic well-being, enabling women to lead with resilience, creativity, and compassion.”

Deepak Chopra, reflecting on the collaboration, stated:

“This collaboration celebrates the power of inclusion and education in shaping a more equitable and innovative future. By supporting women in embracing both the potential of AI and their own well-being, we are planting seeds of transformation for generations to come.” – Deepak Chopra, M.D., Co-Founder of Cyberhuman.ai.

Driving Impact at Scale
