Paula Petcu

Paula is a leader, innovator, and technologist. She has been working at the intersection of health and technology for the past 10 years, leading the Digital Health initiatives at a brain health focused Pharma, former CTO at Brain+, and now CEO and co-founder of the Social Aware AI company Interhuman AI. Interhuman AI builds social intelligence infrastructure that enables any AI system to read, interpret, and respond to human behavior in real time. The technology detects behavioral signals across voice, facial expressions, body language, and words – then interprets what those signals actually mean in context. And can be integrated in applications with a few lines of code.

“AI is changing how we work, communicate, and learn. While a lot of the talks around AI are about optimization and efficiency, let’s not forget that for AI to work with people as true partners, it needs to understand the nuances of human interaction.”
