Andrea Vattani, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist at Spiketrap – Interview Series

Andrea Vattani, is the Co-Founder & Chief Scientist at Spiketrap, a contextualization company powering audience intelligence and media performance for creators, platforms, and brands. What initially attracted you to computer science and AI? It was a combination of fortuitous circumstances, I showed up at the University of Rome to take the Statistics major admission test, and it turned out I was a day late! I was advised to apply for Computer Science instead and move back to the Statistics department a year later. I went to the Computer Science admission test (which was that day!) and passed it… never moved back to Statistics! My interest in AI really started with realizing how computers can help you automate things, and AI is the ultimate automation machinery.
