Andrea emphasizes the importance of making AI accessible, trustworthy, and safe while sharing his insights on the current challenges and future directions for inclusivity and ethical standards in AI development. About Andrea Andrea Paviglianiti comes from a little town in Sicily, and spent the last 10 years living abroad, in Northern and Central Europe. Today he speaks to us from Bratislava, in Slovak Republic. Andrea works as Data Scientist and Artificial Intelligence Engineer in one of the leading IT corporations. His job consists into making Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence up-to-use to his clients, towards useful and operational AI for business. But on the other hand, Andrea is a man who likes to learn new things. Roughly speaking 6 languages, versed in non-verbal communication, and a martial arts practitioner, he loves spending time on humanistic fields and causes more than he lets through. One of his latest personal projects revolves around Ethics applied to Artificial Intelligence. In his own words “AI has the potential to do good and bad things – it all depends on how we decide to use it and if we are thinking about what we are doing”. And so I hear, he is developing some online classes on the matter for solopreneurs, small business owners, and content creators who want to use AI for their business, but can’t afford advocacy from the Big Tech Companies.
