Great dialog on AI Ethics in Bologna with @paolobenanti - an engaging man-monk with a brilliant mind!
I’m very much enjoying my time as the Neil Armstrong Visiting Professor (NAVP) @Purdue but I received one of the more unusual welcome gifts - a bar of (Purdue) soap! A comment on my personal hygiene or that of the typical nerdy-innovator type?
