F0595C - Richard Feynman - Cargo Cult Science
1 Session | Registration opens 9/21/2026 10:00 AM MST (Arizona)
Richard Feynman coined the phrase 'Cargo Cult Science' in his 1974 Caltech commencement address to criticize how generations of students are taught to memorize rather than understand. In this class, we will watch a 20-minute summary video of his address and explore how it relates to Artificial Intelligence today. A group discussion will follow.
