Davar Ardalan is one of the speakers at this year’s Comtrade Digital Services Quest for Quality conference taking place online next month. She is also a journalist, author and the founder and storyteller of IVOW AI, a start-up specialising in AI-driven cultural content. I talk to Davar about her background, what IVOW AI does, how she does AI-driven cultural content, and as AI becomes a permanent part of our lives, how we can best prepare for this. Davar also mentions the positives of AI, how we make sure AI does not end up like HAL or Skynet and what she will be talking about at the Comtrade Digital Services Quest for Quality conference.
