Hi! We’re two IB graduates from Hong Kong. “The Uncommon Senses” Podcast revolves around the Theory of Knowledge(TOK), where we reflect on how we know what we claim to know. We believe that the critical thinking skills we gained from our TOK course have become increasingly vital in the 21st century, which allows people to see the world beyond our so-called common senses, and reconsider: to what extent are our common senses ‘common’? Therefore, we are continuing our TOK explorations here!

Sustainable Living Pod (Part 3): Artificial Intelligence in Education: interview with HKUST Academic Registry on AI ambassador | Ep. #27

Hi everyone! Welcome to “the uncommon senses” Podcast. In this new series, “Sustainable Living Pod”, we collaborate with Sustainable Smart Campus as a Living Lab in HKUST and explore technologies and projects by faculties and students that create a change to sustainability on campus and beyond. I'm your host, Telia.

The development of Artificial Intelligence has been growing exponentially in the past decade, used in fields such as language translation, music composition, educational assistance and so on. Many appreciated AI for its efficiency, data-driven insights and reduced error. However, some hold concerns for potential job loss, data privacy, lack of human influence, and hidden risks such as uncontrollable AI. Today, we will take a look into how AI is used in the HKUST campus for virtual assistance to support HKUST students and the academic community.

I had the chance to interview Mr Jeffrey Li, the assistant manager from the HKUST Academic Registry (ARO). Their team has been working on the SSC project, AI Ambassador.
