They also delved into what this means for future graduates. Watch the full interview here.
“AI is shaping the future of industries, education, and society as a whole,” said Dr Chen. “Being able to discuss its impact on a widely viewed stage was both exciting and meaningful.”
Dr Chen highlighted the importance of preparing the next generation to meet these changes head-on, especially as AI continues to evolve. She emphasised that early exposure and understanding of ethical AI practices will empower youth to make informed decisions and build resilient, future-ready careers.
