Liran, as the CEO and co-founder of Aporia, you’re at the forefront of responsible AI development. Looking forward, how do you see the role of responsible AI evolving in the business landscape, and what steps is Aporia taking to lead in this area?
As AI becomes more integrated into various aspects of business operations, the demand for responsible AI practices has become a current pain point and an urgent priority for companies worldwide. At Aporia, we recognize that safeguarding AI systems against risks like hallucinations and bias is not just a future consideration but a pressing concern for organizations today.
