Usually the grad student does most of the work, but the ideas and direction comes from the supervisor. It's normal that the supervisor funds, directs and communicates the work that's being done.
More often than not, the supervisor has a better idea of the big picture and the implications of the work than the grad student, so it's natural that the supervisor talks to the press.
For example, I'm a grad student, in a department where my supervisor would talk to the press on work that I would have done.

- threetwoone321 7y agoIn CS related fields, in particular ML and CV, this is absolutely not the usual situation except perhaps in the beginning of the PhD. Perhaps it's more common in fields where the research is done on top of a heavy investment in infrastructure/equipment that is lead by the professor, e.g. in physics and biology?
