In questo periodo sono in Italia, dove passo il tempo tra allenamenti, alcuni progetti di lavoro e, naturalmente, il piacere di godermi la vita qui.

AI Can Judge a Handstand. But Can It Coach a Gymnast?
The future of gymnastics, artificial intelligence, and why I'm not worried about being replaced by a robot.
