What do our economy, privacy, health and food all have in common? They are all swayed by technology, for better or worse. A new issue of Think magazine is focusing on local talent thinking about tomorrow’s problems today.
The magazine analyses tech’s impact on Malta and the world from many angles. Dr Adnan Hadzi uses art to discuss artificial Intelligence and invasion of privacy. Dr Sholeem Griffin harnesses the power of tech by developing algorithms that will allow for faster food-testing. Dr Rosienne Farrugia too. She’s contributing to the advances in gene analysis that will potentially help develop treatment and dramatically impact thousands of people’s lives. Meanwhile, Dr Ing Marc Anthony Azzopardi believes tech and innovation may be the answer to reviving Malta’s manufacturing industry.
Technology is a tool. A resource. And like any other fuel, it can be used for good or evil. At the University of Malta, the island’s foremost minds are questioning and applying the concepts of technology where it matters to fantastic results. The hope is to continue shaping the world in a way that leaves it better for those to come.
THINK, the University of Malta’s research magazine, can be picked up for free at the Msida Campus or with the MaltaToday newspaper in newsagents around Malta and Gozo. It is also available online at www.um.edu.mt/think, on or liked on .
