¡No puedo estar más ilusionada! Mañana tendré el honor de ser la madrina de Girls4STEM con motivo del #AdaLovelaceDay 💜.
Ada ya soñaba con la IAg: “Nadie sabe el potencial que encierra este poderoso sistema; algún día podrá llegar a ejecutar música, componer sinfonías y complejos diseños gráficos.”
