RESEARCH PROFILE
Decebal Mocanu is Associate Professor in Machine Learning within the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University of Luxembourg (UL); and Guest Faculty Member within the Data Mining group, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒).
Increases in data and computational power mean Artificial Intelligence (AI) has considerable societal impact. Although impactful, the AI theory is extremely far from creating true intelligence. Thus, the question is not what AI will do to humans, but how humans will improve AI and what they will do with it?
