The perspective paper

Aligning generalization between humans and machines

emerged from the excellent Dagstuhl Seminar
“Generalization by People and Machines”, which took
place in May 2024. A complementary "view only" version

Seriously. Avoid the term "AI" as much as you can.
Don't fall for the hype and don't fuel it.
Here's a brief rant that I presented at the Mittweida Workshop on Computational Intelligence 2025
(presentation slightly messed up by slideshare and adds the stupid ads)

Proud to be one of the 25 (in-) credible authors 😀

Aligning generalization between humans and machines - Nature Machine Intelligence Ilievski et al. examine differences and similarities in the various ways human and AI systems generalize. The insights are important for effectively supporting alignment in human–AI teams.

Fantastic output of the great Dagstuhl Seminar “Generalization by People and Machines”, which took place in May 2024. Thanks for having me as a participant and co-author!

If AI can’t explain its decisions, how can we trust it?

Explainability isn’t a luxury — it’s a foundation for transparency, accountability, and human oversight.

XAI isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Dear Machine Learners. I am very worried about the current #AI #hype: once people realize how un-intelligent, costly, and useless LLMs are and how questionable #genAI is, they will probably project onto serious #ML and discredit all our work. Any idea how to prevent being thrown into the same pot?

After submission, it took almost a year with 4 (four!) rounds of insignificant minor revisions requested by 6 (six!) different reviewers (new ones in every round!). Academic publishing - you got to love it.

Imho it is time to break away from the AI hype and get serious again. I'm afraid it's too late to reclaim the (old) term Artificial Intelligence for reasonable use. Maybe we should give in and leave the term to the LLM, genAI and AGI crowd, to "big tech" and the media.

1. I study how science works as a collective endeavor to make sense of the physical world.

I also study how misinformation about science spreads and affects society.

There are fewer examples more poignant than a Minnesota bill that would criminalize mRNA vaccines as weapons of mass destruction.

Statue of Tommie Smith and Juan Carlos on the podium at the 1968 Olympic Games, gloved fists raise in silent protest.

Mr. Trump, this statute at the National Museum of African American History and Culture does not "undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States".

It does not "fosters a sense of national shame."

It does not "advance a corrosive ideology."

It is literally what might redeem the USA.

No, Trump has destroyed America in the eyes of the world.

Wir hatten uns daran gewöhnt, das Weltgeschehen,auch die Kriege, wie aus einer Theaterloge zu betrachten, anschließend nach Hause zu gehen und vor dem Schlafen gehen noch ein Glas Wein zu trinken.Der Verrat von Trump und Vance macht uns - hoffentlich - klar, dass das Theaterstück unsere Realität ist
