• What is the technological evolution that has marked you most and what will be, in your eyes, a turning point in this field?

  It's Automation. I think the turning point is now because, with accelerated advances in Artificial Intelligence, machines are able to perform tasks that normally require humans, so this is for me a technological revolution but it needs to be done by being aware of the social impact and seeking measures to prevent the inequality.
