A new wave of digital change is underway. Virtually all students now use AI tools. Researchers are exploring how AI can support doctors in intensive care medicine, improve workplace productivity and influence decision-making. Yet AI systems are never error-free.   🤖 “We need to develop a culture for addressing AI errors,” says UZH informatics professor Abraham Bernstein. Instead of blindly trusting machines, people must learn to assess results critically and challenge decisions when necessary.   🔎 Bernstein chaired the steering committee of the National Research Program Digital Transformation (NRP 77), which is now coming to a close after eight years of research. Between 2018 and 2026, 46 projects at universities and higher education institutions across Switzerland examined how digital transformation is reshaping education, healthcare, work and democracy. 👉 In the full interview Abraham Bernstein reflects on key take-aways: https://lnkd.in/euUXTZDR   📱 One UZH study led by media researcher Mark Eisenegger explored how young adults stay informed in the digital age. Together with researchers from Taiwan State University, the University of Trier and EPFL, the team investigated the role journalism plays in young people’s digital information behavior. 👉 How do young adults stay informed nowadays? https://lnkd.in/erA8pNci #UZH | UZH Institut für Informatik, UZH Institut für Kommunikationswissenschaft und Medienforschung (IKMZ), Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF
