I am an outstanding fourth-year MEng Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence student at the University of Southampton. I was the recipient of the Netcraft Prize during my first academic year as I ranked in the top 10 computer science cohort at the University of Southampton. I was granted the DAAD RISE Germany Scholarship the following year and the ECS Undergraduate Research Scholarship during my third academic year to conduct research on AI at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences and the University of Southampton, respectively.
I strongly believe that AI will be the next step in human evolution, and as such, I would like to contribute to this cause. However, if we really want to build a machine on the verge of human-level intelligence, we need to ditch current statistical and data-driven learning paradigm in favour of a causal-based approach.
