Myths, Misconceptions, and the Real Power of AI When Academia Meets Industry
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 michelle.lappeman@optinum.co.za or Prof. Harley at charis.harley@optinum.co.za.
