With a solid academic background and extensive professional experience, she has been a key figure in the development and application of AI technologies across various sectors. She has a multidisciplinary education that covers key areas for the development of AI. She holds a PhD in Computer Science, where she specialized in machine learning algorithms and natural language processing. Furthermore, she has complemented her training with studies in ethics and technology policy, ensuring a holistic approach in her research and development projects. Her work has ranged from fundamental AI research to the practical implementation of AI-based solutions in industry. She has led multidisciplinary teams in innovative projects that seek to solve complex problems using advanced AI technologies.

Patricia is committed to the development of AI that is not only technologically advanced, but also ethical and equitable. Her mission is to foster the creation of technologies that improve people’s quality of life and contribute to sustainable development, and to promote ethics in its use, especially in the health and wellness sector.

A recent example of her projects is the development of an accessible blockchain video game for people with disabilities. This project, known as Metablockplay, aims to make play-to-earn games—which reward participants with digital money or NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)—accessible to everyone, allowing people with disabilities to participate on an equal footing. This approach not only facilitates digital inclusion but also provides an opportunity for these individuals to generate income through their participation in the game.

In addition to her work promoting Asturias AI, Patricia has actively participated in various associations and has been a key figure in events such as the Data Management Summit, where she has moderated round tables on data observability. Her commitment to training and disseminating knowledge about artificial intelligence and its practical applications is evident in her participation in educational initiatives and her work as a mentor for young people and those in vulnerable situations.
