AI has been a major part of that evolution over the past two years, whether through machine learning or other related technologies.

SenSen’s solutions are incredibly versatile, applicable across various industries, and have immense potential for client and customer service improvements. That versatility captivated me.

You mentioned that AI can make technology more “human.” Could you expand on that?

When we look at technologies like natural language models and AI, they’re now able to provide insights, real-time data, and actionable responses. Traditionally, those were human functions—giving feedback, taking action, etc. AI allows us to transform raw data into something that’s human-focused, so people aren’t stuck with repetitive tasks. In that way, I feel AI is truly humanising technology.

That’s a great perspective, given that so often the conversation around AI is that it’s dehumanising. What’s been the most surprising part of the work at SenSen so far?
