Welcome to the new episode of the TNW Podcast — the show where we discuss the latest developments in the European technology ecosystem and feature interviews with some of the most interesting people in the industry.

In today’s special episode, we're happy to present an interview with Anita Schjøll Abildgaard, co-founder and CEO at Iris.ai. The startup has been around for almost a decade and saw several significant pivots, while Anita and the team have been through all the highs and lows imaginable, including balancing on the brink of bankruptcy. Anita and Andrii talked about it all, as well as the future of academic publishing, the prospects of generative AI, the inconvenience of chat interfaces, and much more.
