Artificial intelligence (AI) is not magic but a powerful tool that engineers must learn to use effectively, says Associate Professor Magnus Bengtsson from the University of Borås. In his AI courses, Bengtsson emphasizes the importance of a solid mathematical foundation for understanding and developing AI systems, from simple neural networks to large language models.
He warns against over-reliance on AI without critical evaluation, noting that human expertise remains crucial in applying AI insights. His research and teaching focus on practical applications, such as developing new AI hardware solutions, energy-efficient AI systems, and AI-driven training tools for nursing students.
The University of Borås offers AI-related courses at undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels, covering topics such as machine learning, neural networks, and AI in industrial processes. Bengtsson’s approach bridges theory and practice, preparing engineers to integrate AI into problem-solving across diverse fields.
