Haven't read this work by @asanchezgraells.bsky.social, but after his thought-provoking contributions at #TEDConf2024 I am definitely curious. I'm also sharing because Albert was our number one tweeter and deserves it. Thank you Albert for sharing our conversations on X. Keep sharing 🙏

Huge if true — and I hope it is!

Albert Sanchez Graells @asanchezgraells.bsky.social pleads to consider the limits of #AI . 'We have a big problem if we're deferring judgement to these tools'. We must be careful too with chatbots, making sure that the information used is correct. 'Let's not be blinded by the light' of AI!
