Christian Guttmann is Global VP of Artificial Intelligence at Tieto, an IT software and service company providing IT and product engineering services, with approximately 15,000 employees, active in around 20 countries.
Christian talks about AI and wanting to understand intelligence enough to recreate it.
Christian discusses building systems that can interact with humans beyond regular computer interfaces.
He started working with computers early, too early for advanced AI. He studied broadly, including philosophy, ethics as well as synthetic and biological neural networks.
Christian has found a lot of inspiration in the old papers by Alan Turing and others. He sometimes envies them their opportunity to think big, as they did when they founded the areas of computer science and artificial intelligence.
Christian has be focusing on AI in healthcare and has recently started to communicate the opportunities and challenges in artificial intelligence to the general public. This is something that the host Per Sjöborg is also very passionate about.
We also get to hear about the Nordic AI institute (https://www.nordicaiinstitute.com) and the work it does to inform all parts of society about AI. Anyone interested in AI is welcome to reach out if they have questions or if they have knowledge to share.
Then we hear how Christian is working with Tieto (https://www.tieto.com) on integrating artificial intelligence in their customers daily operations.
