Gianluca Mauro: Artificial Intelligence Is Ready, People Are Not

Modern technology has observed an immense evolution. Self-driven cars, instant translation, and cell phones that will do anything we need with a simple verbal order, are some examples of artificial intelligence (AI). We have discussed it with Gianluca Mauro, energy engineer, co-author and co-founder together with Nicolò Valigi of the AI Academy, a consulting firm of tech experts with the mission to help business leaders to "understand AI and what to do with it through trainings and coaching, and build successful AI projects with tailored consulting." Gianluca is a Roman, young entrepreneur and speaker, who has the ambitious plan to spread awareness about AI. Considering the many hardships of being young professionals -- especially in Italy -- we talked with him about the academy, the main issues in the Italian educational and professional fields, and prejudices against AI.
