"...AI simply isn't a field that's deep or broad enough..."

Its ultimate subject is how to make machines think as well as brains think. Arguably, brains are the thing that distinguish homo sapiens from other animals, and we don't know how brains can be engineered or how such devices can be made efficient and accurate.

If you conceptualize that math/engineering/biology/philosophy question holistically, it is definitely worth an independent college.
