Artificial intelligence represents both a challenge and an opportunity, as it is transforming science, education, and everyday life. TalTech's AI lead, Sven Nõmm, emphasizes the need to find the best possible balance between promoting innovation and adhering to ethical principles.
Education
The growing complexity of discoveries challenges both scientists and a society that often prefers simplicity over complex truths. TalTech and other research institutions should take part in addressing this issue in a systematic way.
Could Estonia be a country where everyone masters mathematics like their mother tongue? TalTech rector Tiit Land believes that this is precisely what would ensure success in the future – and calls for a reform in the way mathematics is taught.
A woman can be a better engineer than a man, but women could use more confidence, says Katriin Kristmann, a doctoral student and junior researcher at TalTech.
The engineering shortage weighing on Estonia’s economy could be eased with three simple changes in school education that would cost virtually nothing, yet open the path to high incomes for thousands of young people and their families every year, suggests Veljo Konnimois, Chairman of the Council of the Estonian Mechanical Engineering Industry Association.
