MetekuAI, a startup based in Ramle, Israel, is using artificial intelligence to combat problematic online content. The company, founded by Yirga Semay, an Ethiopian Israeli, has 10 employees and counts the Jewish Agency for Israel among its clients. MetekuAI received support from programs funded by the UJA-Federation of New York, which are designed to help Israelis from disadvantaged communities find places in Israels high-tech sector. The UJA-Federation gives $180,000 per year to one of these programs, Olim Beyachad, which has over 1,400 alumni and aims to steer Ethiopian-Israeli university graduates toward rewarding careers.
