Here are some snip shots of the very first AI fireside chat that was held in conjunction with EEEAA AGM last Saturday
"AI is like a magnifying glass: it will magnify your strengths or your weaknesses. If you're lazy, AI makes you lazier. If you're hardworking, it helps you do even more." - Ian Tan
"The current pedagogy, current way of teaching is no longer valid in the age of AI. We need to shift as quickly as possible in this whole space about brain-based learning." - Prof. Er Meng Hwa
Many companies lack the ability to break down business processes, a prerequisite for deploying AI agents. "You need to be able to articulate a business process." - Boon Kgim
"Vibe coding sounds very impressive but do you think that is really feasible in resolving all the problems in the enterprise? The answer is unfortunately no."- Zhang Le
The panellists delved into the analysis of AI from various perspectives, including education, enterprise, and work productivity. Their insightful reflections made us ponder the significance of domain knowledge, especially when determining the correctness of AI-generated answers. In this era, developing active learning skills is invaluable, and AI can serve as a valuable assistant on our learning journey.
Thank you, panellists, for providing us with valuable advice on how to better prepare ourselves for the age of AI.
