Raise kids who can use AI, not rely on it: Janil Puthucheary
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of AI on education and the importance of fostering original thought among students.
AI is already transforming the classroom by reshaping the way students learn and teachers teach. But as AI becomes more powerful, how do we protect space for original thought and creative thinking? Steven Chia and Tiffany Ang sit down with Senior Minister of State for Education Janil Puthucheary to unpack AI's role in the classroom, and how the recent merger of SkillsFuture and Workforce Singapore will better align training with future job needs.
