Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University. Since ChatGPT was introduced to great fanfare in 2022, the debate a

Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a joint initiative on immunotherapy, a rapidly developing field within cancer research, among other areas. The aim is to accelerate work on new immunotherapies and develop joint strategies to translate research into patient benefit. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to figh

The war in Gaza has caused conflict at universities in Sweden and abroad. Overcoming the differences between protestors and university managements and within groups of employees is likely to take time. We met with both Lund University’s Vice-Chancellor and protestors from the encampment in Lundagård. In this edition of LUM, they share their visions of how to move forward. We have also interviewed

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

The proposal from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) would see agricultural subsidies phased out for the activities that cause the most damage to the climate, whilst increasing carbon sequestration and introducing specified pricing for emissions. Five researchers from Lund University in Sweden share their views on whether the EU’s agri-food system can cope with the t

DIABETES- och NJURFORSKNING. Efter mer än ett decennium av stiltje har njurforskningen fått ett lyft. Nya läkemedel och biomarkörer gör det möjligt att upptäcka och bromsa sjukdomsförlopp tidigare – något som länge verkade ouppnåeligt.
