Human intelligence has always been a grand source of fascination for me — since my teenage years, I have aspired to find a way to get close to understanding the nature of subjective experience. I have always wanted to write a film on this topic so I ended up exploring subjects such as biology, philosophy, language, genetics, and finally, artificial intelligence.
Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing? Semantics can be hard to nail. Achieving a decent level of precision with words, making sure that what you said was what you actually meant is always a challenge, especially when writing not in your mother tongue. It is hard to accept that misinterpretation will likely take place one way or another, but I feel that letting go of the fear that your message will get lost in translation is a character-building exercise. Anxious perfectionism has proven to be more paralyzing than advancing.
Thanks for taking the time to join our “Meet the writer” series. It was a pleasure. Do you have any closing words?
