For Technology, 2020 became a historic year with data at scale, artificial intelligence deployed across airports and for tracking COVID-19, and the emergence of new developer tools to speed the adoption and automation of technologies.
HumAIn explored all of these issues this year, in both 86 Technology Articles, 56 HumAIn Episodes (including 32 HumAIn Interviews), and 4 HumAIn Reports.
Today I summarize the most popular and most important posts of the year on HumAIn.
