<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a disruptive force in our society.<br>
Increasing applications in healthcare, transport, military, and other fields underscore the critical need for a comprehensive understanding and the robustness of an AI’s decision-making process.<br>
Neurosymbolic AI aims to create robust AI systems by integrating neural and symbolic AI techniques.
<br>
In this inaugural lecture, I will highlight the role of formal methods in such techniques, serving as a rigorous and structured backbone for symbolic AI methods.
<br>
I will also reflect on my journey as a formal methods researcher and how the AI hype began for us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
