Summary

On this episode of the Austrian AI Podcast, we have the pleasure to interview Ivona Vlčková, a young Data Scientist working at the Viennese AI startup Mostly.ai. 

Ivona shares her experience working as a Data Scientists at a Startup with about 30 people and contrasts it with her experience working at an international company with thousands of employees.

We discuss her reasons to move to Vienna, and what Vienna has to offer and how it compares to other cities in attracting talent and companies in the AI sector.

Towards the end of the interview we discuss the topic of gender bias in Data Science and in Austrian companies in general.

It was a pleasure to host Ivona and a very interesting interview.
