Since the public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, concerns have arisen regarding the potential massive loss of jobs due to AI. Specifically, some students have expressed apprehension about the apparent ease with which ChatGPT can handle their homework. In this engaging talk, Professor Ben Leong shares his insights into how the National University of Singapore School of Computing is addressing these concerns and preparing students for a world that is becoming increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, all while being under the influence of AI.
