In this episode, we sit down with Prof. Charis Harley -who’s navigated both the classroom and the boardroom - to debunk the common myths holding AI back on campus and in industry. We dig into why “everything starts with a conversation,” revisit her keynote for the South African Council of Automation, explore the Virtual Internship concept as a springboard for students to tackle real-world problems, and lay out the urgent need to build a collaborative community today. If you’re passionate about closing the divide between research and practice, now is the time to join us. To discuss this further, reach out to Michelle at [email protected] or Prof. Harley at [email protected]. We want to start the conversations!
