The three-quarter face, the hair tied in an elegant bun at the nape of the neck, the refined finery. These are the typical depictions of Ada Lovelace. All of her rank as a countess but nothing of her skills. If we had sifted through these paintings with our computer vision solutions, chances are that even artificial intelligence would not have detected the genius hidden within.

And yet, Ada Lovelace is the first programmer and thus another figure at the origins of AI!

ROBERTA, the podcast:

We are specialists in artificial intelligence (AI) and we want to share our passion with you.

With this podcast Roberta, in honour of Roberta Wohlstetter, a pioneer of modern intelligence, we looked at the stories of those who have influenced or been influenced by AI.

This monthly podcast traces the stories of scientists, filmmakers, novelists, politicians and deciphers their connection to AI.
