    AI is everywhere around us, we are constantly bombarded with this term. But what does it really mean? Today, we have made a small attempt with this episode to demystify Artificial Intelligence and turn it into something more understandable for everyone. This episode demonstrates the far-reaching societal consequences of AI developments and our two speakers on board: Sindi Shkodrani (Machine Learning; Autonomous Driving Expert; Women in AI member) & Gianluca Truda (AI student; Data Scientist with a background in Computer Science and Genetics; Podcaster) discuss ethical questions, biases of algorithms and the latest groundbreaking technological developments in the field.
