“Even the term 'Artificial Intelligence' is widely misused, with conceptual unclarity coopted to advance industry agendas & undermine scholarly discussions. It's our task to demystify and challenge 'AI' in our teaching, research & engagement with society.”

“The goal of academic training is not to solve problems as efficiently and quickly as possible, but to develop skills for identifying and dealing with novel problems, which have never been solved before.”
