KEBA and RESPAS receive “powered by neuroinclusion” recognition

This recognition honors the collaboration with Responsible Annotation Services (RESPAS), an Austrian specialist in high-quality data annotation for AI. The focus is on supporting KeBob, KEBA's AI-powered assistance system that helps improve safety, service quality, and well-being in semi-public spaces.

For an AI system to reliably identify and assess situations, it needs precisely labeled training data. As part of the collaboration with RAS, various situations and body positions were annotated for KeBob, including people standing, sitting, or lying down, as well as people using mobility aids. This data forms the basis for KeBob's situational analysis and helps the system reliably detect medical emergencies, among other things.

The quality of training data is especially critical in sensitive environments such as bank lobbies, self-service areas, post offices, and other semi-public spaces. Only high-quality data makes robust, trustworthy, and explainable AI models possible.

A particularly important aspect of this collaboration is how the data is annotated. RESPAS primarily employs neurodivergent and autistic annotation specialists. Many of these employees have exceptional skills in attention to detail, pattern recognition, concentration, and perseverance. These strengths make them especially valuable for demanding annotation tasks in AI.

The “powered by neuroinclusion” recognition therefore acknowledges not only social responsibility but also the fact that diversity can make a tangible contribution to technological quality. The certificate specifically highlights how KEBA's collaboration supports jobs for autistic people while promoting the highest standards of data quality as a measurable outcome.

While data annotation is often outsourced in the international AI industry, KEBA and RESPAS have deliberately chosen a regional alternative. Data is processed in Austria or the German-speaking DACH region, in compliance with the GDPR and in close coordination with development teams. This enables streamlined communication, greater transparency, and sustainable value creation in Europe.

For KEBA, this is an important part of its responsible AI strategy. Trust, data privacy, transparency, and quality are essential requirements for modern AI systems. Especially in safety-critical applications, users need to be able to trust that technologies are not only powerful but also developed responsibly.

The “powered by neuroinclusion” recognition demonstrates that successful AI projects go far beyond technology. They emerge where innovation, data quality, social responsibility, and diverse perspectives come together.

The collaboration between KEBA and Responsible Annotation Services brings precisely these elements together: high-quality AI development, regional value creation, European data protection standards, and active support for neurodiversity in the workplace. For KEBA, this is an important contribution to responsible, future-ready AI development in Austria.
