Are you curious about what lies behind this crucial and controversial debate on AI ethics for business and society as a whole?  

Luciana will take us on a journey to reflect on why AI ethics is inevitably making it to every CEOs’ agendas, and will elucidate on the tough questions and challenges that are taking the central stage. With the conviction that we learn most from the questions that challenge our own behaviours, she will deep dive into the risks and opportunities that AI offers for business growth and transformation.  

Luciana is co-founder and CEO of AI dragons, an incubator of applications and ventures leveraging the power of Machine Learning. Even though the company has only been founded a couple of months ago, the company already counts with a portfolio of high level clients, including the Constitutional Court of Colombia. With AI dragons’ powered tech cases arriving at the court are analyzed, using MachineLearning (i.e. OCR and text and argument mining). The relevant aspects of the analysis are displayed on a dashboard that helps the court identify and track fundamental rights violations. The visualization of the data analysis in realtime provides this institution with valuable insights to enhance public policy and track escalation of social tensions. The Colombian Justice System institutions have received with enthusiasm the development of the dashboard, which is set to start in the coming weeks.
