Claudio Fantinuoli, PhD.

About
My areas of interest are computer-assisted and machine interpreting, which essentially means that I design and study Artificial Intelligence systems to support human interpreters and translate speech automatically. Personally, I'm passionate about the intersection of mind, brain (including computational) and language.

Short biography
I hold an M.A. in Conference Interpreting, a PhD in Applied Linguistics, and a Habilitation^* in Interpreting Studies. I have taught at the universities of Innsbruck, Vienna, and Karlsruhe. My work in the field of Natural Language Processing, started at EURAC Research center and as the founder of InterpretBank, a computer-assisted tool for interpreters. Currently, I hold a tenured researcher position at the University of Mainz and serve as Chief Technology Officer at KUDO Inc. Additionally, I act as a consultant for international institutions, governments, and research centers. I frequently deliver speeches on topics related to AI and digital transformation.
