Supporting research

AI continues to be a core focus in the evolving educational landscape. It is not focused on one area of the systems either.

In this presentation, I utilize a video from Apple's WWDC in 1997 where Steve Jobs discusses the importance of beginning with the needs of the customer and delivering value based on that, not simply developing cool technology and trying to find where it fits. We need to take this same approach with AI.
