On September 16th and 18th, I had the fantastic honour of talking about AI at Jönköping’s Senioruniveristetet: a non-profit organisation that supports life-long learning through lectures and workshops for people over 60.
With some 600 registered participants, the lecture “Artificiell Intelligens: från science fiction till verklighet” (“AI: from science fiction to reality”) held in Immanuelskyrkans hall, was so popular that the organisation asked me to hold the presentation twice! What a fantastic honour!
The third mission (reaching out to the general) is often one of the hardest components of a successful academic career as much of the work we do is too specific for the public. Finding good venues and channels in which it is possible to spread information, knowledge and research results is, therefore, often very difficult for us academics. Thus, I am truly very grateful to have been invited to speak to such a large group of people with so much knowledge and engagement with the topic of the talk.
Humbling!
