Yesterday was a full and rewarding day! In the morning, I participated in Fairfield University's President's Colloquium on AI on College Campuses. In the afternoon, I taught business ethics. And in the evening, I guest lectured on neurolaw in a behavioral neuroscience class. Applied ethics whiplash!
