HUMAN & AI

Today's genius mind is Julia Gottfriedsen. She is a purpose-driven team player with an intrapreneurial spirit and experience in the fields of Data Science and Engineering. We reached out to Julia in April in her home office for Siemens Corporate Technology in Berkeley, US* where we started the conversation grounded in the field of environmental sciences and then even set off for space. Find out what fascinates her about Machine Learning, how to bridge the gap between different fields of technology, and how important it is for her to be on the lookout for answers that will be relevant to all of us.*Since May 2020 she works as a Doctoral Researcher for Department of atmospheric physics, German Aerospace Center (DLR) to apply deep learning to climate data to better understand extreme weather events and abrupt climate change.

Today’s genius mind is Mareike Kritzler. She is Head of the Smart Machine Vision and Visualization Research Group in Berkeley, California* and studied Geoinformatics in Germany. Mareike is comfortable in both research- as well as a release-driven development environment. Tune in to this episode to find out more about why Virtual Reality is still a thing, why AI is both an opportunity and a challenge, what makes the AI ecosystem in the US so unique, and how Augmented Reality can help you in finding the right furniture. *The interview was conducted in April 2020 shortly after the coronavirus outbreak started and she was Head of the Artificial and Human Intelligence Research Group in Berkeley, California. We apologize for the partly bad audio quality and have tried all our skills to make it sound less metal.
