At The Straits Times Education Forum 2024 held in partnership with SMU on 8 March, panellists discussed the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) and its perceived threats in the workplace. One of the panellists, SMU Assistant Professor of Law and Deputy Director of SMU’s Centre for Computational Law Jerrold Soh, addressed the worries people have about job displacement, and said that it is important to talk about how the average person perceives the impact of AI. He added that AI is a part of every industry, so it is up to the individual to pursue “core competencies”, and to remain curious, passionate and keep an open mind about continuous learning as the world changes. The forum was moderated by SMU Professor of Communication and Technology and Vice President (Partnerships and Engagement) Lim Sun Sun.
