EWDCI Q&A with our CEO, Vytautas Savickas

The EWDCI encourages dialogue and improves digital peace of mind for consumers and companies. It plays a significant role in defining positive and beneficial uses of the essential abilities and potential of data collection and aggregation at scale.

Last year, Decodo received the EWDCI Certified designation, demonstrating our commitment to legality, ethics, ecosystem engagement, and social responsibility when collecting public web data while pushing forward the industry’s best practices and accountability.

As we take great pride in contributing to this ongoing journey, we recently caught up with the EWDCI to discuss relevant subjects, such as the depths of web scraping, innovative use cases, and more. 

“With the growing attention to artificial intelligence, we continue to explore the capabilities of implementing those technologies into our solutions to make our web scraping product line even better. Internally, we are working on AI chatbots to enhance our personalized customer experience,” says Vytautas Savickas.

For more insights on artificial intelligence, government policies and other topics, we invite you to read the full article on the EWDCI website.
