“I believe my task is to teach students how to think, not what to think. In a field that evolves as quickly as AI, the most enduring tools are critical inquiry, ethical reflection, and the ability to frame the right questions. While moral perspectives differ, the capacity to interrogate inherited narratives and our own assumptions is what creates the depth and responsibility society urgently needs.”
