40. Mario Tuta - Stoic Analytics - Enable AI for SME's @ Salz21

# Sumary Today the Austrian AI Podcast is in Salzburg visiting the Salz21 an Innovation conference, that by the time this episode is out, has taken place from the 15 to the 16 of march 2023 in the city of Salzburg. This year there is a special interest in Artificial Intelligence, dedicating the "Stage of AI" to different presentations and discussion with a fast selection of speakers and topics. I had the pleasure to meet several of the speakers and to record in total 3 interviews with the followings guests - Wolfgang Trutschnig from the University of Salzburg on their AI bachelor and Master Program, as well on IDALab, an applied AI research lab that collaborates closely with companies in the region to enable funding of basic research projects and support local companies to stay ahead of their competitors. - Gabrielle Bolek Fügl on a Salz21 panel discussion on Trustworthy AI and a workshop program that she has developed with Carina Zehetmaier that helps AI companies to develop products and services that are aligned with regulations and legal requirements. - And last but not least, Mario Tuta from Stoic Analytics on what holds AI adoption back for small and medium companies in austria, and what is needed to overcome those hurdles. ## Sponsors Quantics: Supply Chain Planning for the new normal - the never normal - https://quantics.io/ ## References https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariotuta/ - Mario Tuta KMU Digitalisierungsstudie 2019 - Digitale Transformation von KMUs in Österreich by Arthur D.
