AI and Education: Smart Move or "Geh Khiang"?

​The growing pervasiveness of AI raises important questions: Who uses it? Why use it? Where, when and how?

​And how much is too much...if there's such a thing as "too much". These questions are especially pertinent in education, which is an inherently human-centric enterprise. Is AI boon or bane, or a bit of both?

​What does AI mean for knowledge and tests and skills? What does it mean for culitivation of the mind and the human spirit? Touch and hold a clip to pin it.

​Put another way, is AI in education a smart move, or a case of "geh khiang"? And yes, lest we forget, "artificial intelligence" literally translates to the Hokkien phrase "geh khiang".

​Join us for a 2-hour facilitated discussion to explore these questions and more.
