This episode marks our season finale, and we’ll be back this autumn with new fresh episodes!In this episode, Àtia Cortés Martínez from the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre introduces responsible artificial intelligence, bias in healthcare data, and the social impact of AI. She discusses fairness, transparency, the EU AI Act, and how ethical, human-centred approaches can help build trustworthy AI systems that benefit society while reducing inequalities and protecting fundamental rights.Episode Guest:Atia Cortés Martínez, PhDResponsibility in AI & Ethics Group Leader at Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC)Moderator: Marina CorradiniCommunications Officer at ICN2------------------------------------------------------------The Supercomputing in Europe podcast is made possible with funding from the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the joint initiative from the EU, European countries, and private partners to develop a world-class HPC ecosystem in Europe.The podcast is sustained by the EuroCC project, and the Centres of Excellence network that provides supercomputing and AI support for industry, academia and public administration.Learn more at https://hpc-portal.eu.

This episode's guest is David Sumpter, Professor at Department of Mathematics; Statistics, AI and Data Science at Uppsala University in Sweden.He's also the co-founder of Twelve Football, a company that helps football clubs understand all metrics better and make smarter decisions. We discuss the relation between math and football, their successes and challenges with working with football clubs and their AI product Earpiece.---Interview/production: Apostolos Vasileiadis, Emma Wallberg (Mimer AI Factory)

In this episode, we discuss the role of the Women in HPC initiative in supporting women throughout their careers in high-performance computing. Together with Karina Pesatova (IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre), we explore mentoring, networking, visibility, and outreach activities that help build a stronger and more inclusive HPC community.The conversation also examines how attracting and retaining talent is essential for the future of supercomputing and the engineering and scientific applications it enables.Interview: Sophia Honisch, HLRS/EXCELLERAT P2Mixing: Matvey Fridman, HLRS________________________________________The Supercomputing in Europe podcast is made possible with funding from the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the joint initiative from the EU, European countries, and private partners to develop a world-class HPC ecosystem in Europe.The podcast is sustained by the EuroCC project, and the Centres of Excellence network that provides supercomputing and AI support for industry, academia and public administration.Learn more at https://hpc-portal.eu.

This episode features Roberto Guadenzi from Bitbang. He focuses on the project they developed within the Fortissimo Plus programme: GenAIAdd. The conversation explores how the project combines generative AI, predictive time-series analysis and synthetic data to improve additive manufacturing by predicting failures before they occur. The episode also explores how HPC supports advanced AI models for industrial 3D printing and how EuroCC Italy helped SMEs access the European HPC ecosystem.Interview/mixing: Simona Contaldi (EuroCC Italy)
