Should we still learn to code in the age of AI? Professor Hahn Jungpil says that AI has its limitations while computer education is about a way of thinking that goes beyond code.
While AI offers exciting potential for creative content creation, Professor Hahn Jungpil warns of its double-edged nature. Deepfakes pose a growing threat for spreading misinformation. He proposes proactive behavioural analysis as a promising strategy to combat this, acknowledging the challenges of regulating open-source AI and the limitations of current safeguards.
Professor Hahn Jungpil highlighted a critical challenge in the realm of deepfake detection. He emphasised that malicious actors could potentially gain an upper hand due to the need for enhanced deepfake training data to advance detection technologies.
In the documentary, Associate Professor Terence Sim discusses the alarming ease with which deepfakes can be created and their astonishingly convincing nature.

Associate Professor Kan Min Yen emphasises that Southeast Asia's regulations are less detailed compared to the EU's, citing the region's diverse digital landscape and emerging infrastructure as reasons why strict enforcement might be challenging.
Associate Professor Kan Min Yen asserts that ASEAN, as a “critical region,” stands to gain from suitable AI adoption and implementation. However, he highlights that existing AI models are primarily trained on data that inadequately represents ASEAN citizens, failing to account for local languages, cultural norms, and everyday objects.
"I wanted to develop an interface that provides seamless access to people to interact with the world," said Associate Professor Suranga Nanayakkara. His team developed AiSee, the groundbreaking hands-free headset that helps visually impaired individuals 'see' by converting images to audio descriptions.
