💭"Thanks to EDIC’s 1st-year rotation, I found SPRING lab, the perfect academic home for me. Interactions with my advisor, labmates, collaborators, & students were key to my growth as a researcher. I also liked EDIC’s flexibility, allowing me to do internships & build a larger collaborators network."

🤔💫 She envisions a future where digital services are built with #privacy and #security at the core, empowering people to take control of their #data and stay safe online.

✨ EDIC lessons:
«Meeting incredible people & having lively brainstorming sessions was unforgettable. I remember late nights, sleeping at the office, waiting for the latest results before paper submissions. I also cherished quality time outside of work with colleagues,
surfing or climbing mountains»

#EPFL has become the first university in mainland Europe to have researchers admitted to the Schmidt Sciences AI2050 Fellows Community, this year receiving three fellowships, more than any other institute globally in 2025. 👏🤩

🌍 Finally, Martin Vetterli shares his upcoming project: visiting his former #PhDstudents around the world. A fitting next chapter for a leader who has shaped minds globally.
#ThankYou, Martin Vetterli, for a last lecture as inspiring as your career ! 👏✨

🔎💡His philosophical conclusion: Looking back - Greek science + republic vs Roman technology + empire. Tech wins short-term, science long-term.

Last but not least, the delicate balance between science, technology, & society. Science and technology serve society; politics must regulate for the common good. But how do we measure the common good? Vetterli advocates for scientific knowledge as humanity’s common good. #Ethics #Innovation

🧠 Martin Vetterli is optimistic about AI’s scientific impact but less so for its mass-market applications. The big question: When can we trust AI-generated images? Science relies on verifiability. AI excels at generating hypotheses, let’s verify them to advance knowledge.

🔍 Current #AIchallenges, according to Martin Vetterli:
- #Alignment
- #DigitalTrust
- The computing power arms race (Cold War arms race vibes)
- Algorithms training on their own outputs
- #Copyright issues
- Most important: #education. The brain is a muscle, it needs training! 💪🧠

🤖 Now, the unavoidable topic: #AI. But where do we stand?
Fun fact: AI-generated images of Lavaux (on the left) w/o Lake Geneva prove humans still have an edge. 😉
He traces AI’s #evolution, highlighting #APERTUS, the open, compliant model developed by #EPFL, @ethz.ch, #CSCS and the help of Swisscom.

Every technical revolution leads to social upheaval: fake news, flawed science. 🚩🤥We're drowning in data, how do we navigate it?
