A special edition of the TWIS podcast: PandasAI’s Gabriele Venturi
A while back Giacomo and I had the opportunity to discuss about the future of AI, open source software, and data analysis with Gabriele Venturi, founder of PandasAI, a python library that I personally love and probably one of the most interesting opensource AI-powered libraries out there.
