O mundo está em constante mudança, e nós como seres humanos também. As mudanças tecnológicas têm sido cada vez mais rápidas porque a tecnologia avança à velocidade da luz, de tal forma que por vezes dá algum receio sobre o nosso papel no mundo, ou de que forma é que o ser humano pode prevalecer num mundo onde a tecnologia ganha tanto destaque? Continuamos a falar de AI (Artificial Intelligence) mas agora de forma mais profunda, sobre a forma como impacta a nossa vida laboral, ou a forma como se poderá um dia especializar de forma a que cada um tenha AI adaptada a si, como indivíduo. Mas também sobre a outra face da moeda, sobre o facto de AI e Machine Learning elevados aos extremos retirarem alguns processos que eram especificamente humanos e feitos por nenhum outro individuo (Exemplo dado aqui sobre o Elon Musk e o Chip da Neurolink). Como é que será o futuro e esta dinâmica de tecnologia vs. Humanos? Este episódio dá-vos insights muito interessantes sobre isto. Além de que foi um privilégio termos tido o Vasco e a Unbabel no nosso podcast, mais conversas destas trazem mais valor ao vosso dia, e é isso que queremos. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bitalk/message
Como ainda não existem carros voadores, este episódio começa sem o nosso querido host José Serra. Mas pode ser que um dia a tecnologia desenvolva neste sentido e o José (e todos nós) possamos escapar de acidentes matinais, trânsito e possamos ir a voar para todo o lado. Quem sabe? Com uma pontualidade Inglesa, no que diz respeito a tempo e a temas sempre atuais, recebemos o Vaco Pedro, CEO e Founder da Unbabel. Mais uma daquelas conversas e convidados que nos enchem de orgulho porque sentimos que estamos realmente a levar a cabo a nossa missão de vos dar a conhecer novas e diversas perspetivas sobre o ecossistema empreendedor em Portugal. A Unbabel é uma empresa certamente conhecida por vocês porque está a curtos passos de se tornar um unicórnio e que se dedica a eliminar as barreiras que a língua cria entre as empresas e os seus clientes, através da combinação de inteligência artificial com edição e criatividade humanas, apesar de o Vasco ser da opinião que se "a Inteligência artificial fosse suficiente, todas as empresas usariam inteligência artificial!" Será que esta simbiose entre humanos e tecnologia terá sempre de acontecer ou o futuro converge para que a tecnologia prevaleça? De que forma é que vemos o futuro e a tecnologia? Queremos que seja um episódio em que se desafiam a pensar em tudo o que será o futuro com uma tecnologia que avança à velocidade da luz. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bitalk/message

Vasco Pedro is the CEO of Unbabel. He tackles the challenge of internationalisation, critical to any ambitious European technology company - if they want to build a category defining company thinking about when and how to internationalise is a critical decision and has profound implications on the business from an organisational, commercial and technological perspective. Vasco also argues that there is little time for founders to learn on the job and one of the most important challenges is for founders to bury any hubris or entitlement and to hire game changers with proven experience alongside or even above themselves if they want to achieve their potential.

Translation is a classic problem in computer science. How do you translate a sentence from one human language into another? This seems like a problem that computers are well-suited to solve. Languages follow well-defined rules, we have lots of sample data to train our machine learning models. And yet, the problem has not been solved–largely The post Translation with Vasco Pedro appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
