Manuel Herranz in Plazaradio; "AI is making decisions thanks to past examples".

Manuel Herranz was interviewed by Plazaradio for their current affairs and innovation podcast A Pie de Calle on July 14. Joining journalist Paco Cremades on his mobile podcast across the streets of Valencia, our CEO spoke about Pangeanic and the evolution of Artificial Intelligence in language technology. This time, the podcast on wheels parked up outside Innsomnia, the innovation and digitalization Hub for startups in the Valencian marina. The episode centred on the importance of artificial intelligence in language processing and how it helps us in our daily lives. Manuel spoke about how technology like the one developed by Pangeanic is behind the virtual assistants present in homes and all over the world. He also touched on anonymity for data protectiona, a crucial tool for today’s data-centric world. During the interview, Manuel also talked about the important roles humans play in artificial intelligence and how algorithms are able to improve their language processing through the work of the linguist. For example, by identifying all kinds of vocabulary, synonyms and their uses in a specific language.
