What addressing complex problems requires is discussed by Sergio Mariotti in his blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/07/13/natural-and-human-sciences-alliance/. He uses the integration of engineering & economics to address the challenges of artificial intelligence to as an example of unified knowledge based on plurality, diversity and multiple perspectives. He argues for more holistic learning, scholars well rooted in their own discipline but open to tackling such problems and institutional bridges plus huge funds that eschew lower short-term R&D productivity for greater likelihood of generating new radical knowledge. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
