    #70 Unearthing key hidden personality traits thanks to Natural Language Processing - Florian Feltes

    Adrien welcomes Florian Feltes, co-founder and CEO at Zortify. A staunch academic at heart with deep problem-solving skills, Florian walks Adrien through the process that led him to adopt natural language processing (NLP) as a way to rationalise the decision-making process. At a time when AI is slowly but surely becoming an ubiquitous component of our ways of going about our lives - think of ChatGPT - this highly complementary tool developed by Zortify allows decision-makers to obtain an unbiased view of someone they are looking to hire or invest in. Indeed, Florian highlights a few key examples to illustrate the use cases of this AI-driven process (e.g. aligning employees with a corporate culture through surveys, venture capitalists screening founders who have got the potential to create a unicorn, etc.).Finally, they discuss the chief reasons why Zortify is leveraging Luxembourg as a hub to source talent and expand their customer reach further afield.
