Răzvan has contributed directly to the frontier of knowledge, developing learning rules for neural networks later used by Intel in revolutionary microprocessors. Today, we analyze the AI “explosion” of recent years and what it means for Romania.
What you will discover in this episode:

The journey from physics to AI: Why Răzvan chose to leave traditional research to “teach” machines how to think.

Innovation “made in Romania”: The story of spiking neural networks and the indirect collaboration with giants like Intel.

The global economic stakes: Why the US and China dominate the market and the risks for Eastern Europe (and the BPO sector) if we don’t adapt quickly.

The IT crisis – myth vs. reality: Is AI the sole culprit for the lack of junior jobs, or does the global financial context play a bigger role?

Adaptation is key: Why “AI won’t steal your job, but a person who knows how to use AI will.”
