I had the privilege of speaking at the United Nations in front of a global audience on the critical topic of Shaping the Future of AI for and by the Youth. I highlighted the power of youth-driven innovation and ethical leadership in the AI landscape, including empowering youth to take an active role in designing the AI technologies that will define our future.
The ArtScience Museum generously invited me to lead a workshop titled "Future Voices: AI & Ethics." We discussed some of the latest scenarios for how AI is penetrating social life and the ethical dilemmas people need to confront.
I conducted a workshop for youth on the challenges of AI and led a discussion of the ethical implications of generative AI. The session was held at the new high-tech integrated One Punggol Library.
Tatler organized a conference featuring intellectual celebrities like Pico Iyer and biohacking pioneers like Bryan Johnson. I got to moderate a provocative “no-holds-barred” conversation with legendary entrepreneurs Steve Chen (co-founder of YouTube) and Patrick Grove (Catcha Group).
IBM’s Watson X team invited me along with my parents — since we all use AI in various ways in our work — to do a panel together for IBM’s Asia team on the major digital transformations underway globally and how they impact Asia. I spoke about the importance of ethics in governing the use of AI algorithms.
This was my first public workshop on Ethics & AI for more than 200 girls organized by She Loves Tech, the world’s largest tech accelerator for women with a presence in more than 75 countries. The National University of Singapore participated as well, along with an online audience.
