Quantum sensors are built to pick up signals too faint for conventional instruments. In medicine, that could mean spotting a disease long before the first symptom. That was the focus of the latest #Quantum & #AI Breakfast by the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg AI Factory.

Three questions psychology is now asked to answer: how early adversity shapes mental health, how AI changes the way we think and decide, and what makes people act on climate change. Not questions for psychologists alone. They decide how societies function. And #uni_lu works on all three. 🧵

One painting brought Dr Bereket Yilma back to a peaceful memory. The next did the opposite. That museum visit inspired ArtAICare, bringing AI and visual art into therapist-led care. Twelve years on, read the story: www.uni.lu/en/news/art-...
A person wearing a black sensor headband sits at a computer and looks at a landscape painting displayed on the screen. Text on a pale-blue panel reads: “Art therapy powered by AI: The Story Behind ArtAICare.”
Portrait of Dr Bereket Yilma wearing a black top against a pale-blue background. Text beside him reads: “Entrepreneurship is not simply about funding or valuation. It is about taking responsibility for turning knowledge into something that works for real people.”
