Point of view

AI isn't just about technology. It's about what we choose to do with it.

Portrait of Nicola Scarfone

For over fifteen years, I've worked across artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and business. I turn complex technologies into actionable choices, exploring not only what technology can do, but what changes when it becomes part of our processes, decisions and the way we work.

I'm a Senior Business Manager at SAS. I bring this perspective beyond my day-to-day work, exploring and explaining AI at events, universities, and in conversations with companies, institutions and the media.

“We can delegate more and more to AI. The real question is what we still want to decide ourselves.”

How we work, how we decide, what we delegate and what we choose to remain responsible for.
