Ralph emphasizes the significance of mental health and providing hope for students, particularly in the context of their career paths and the challenges they face today.   

"I'm a recovering attorney."

"We can't lose the human spirit. You look at all of this technology and you have to say we can’t lose the human element."

"We need to create a vision for how AI can really impact people's lives in a positive way—and not be afraid of it, but learn how to guide it."
