"The humans are going to be empowered to become superheroes like Tony Stark, and because you have your loyal A.I. assistant, Jarvis, doing all this stuff in the background, that's the example I always use when I give lectures on this topic. What ends up happening is that you need to make sure you can use A.I. correctly. If you offload too much, offload inappropriately, or become too dependent on AI for tasks where you shouldn't be dependent, then suddenly, you're no longer Tony Stark. You're one of those fat human descendants in Wall-E. The ones who can't even get back in their own chairs because they've forgotten how to walk, they've forgotten how to think, they're being fed a steady diet of soda pop from AI." - Joon Nak Choi Fresh out of the studio, Bernard Leong sits down with Joon Nak Choi, an Adjunct Associate Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and founder of Learnovate, to dive deep into the future of education and AI. JC shares his career journey and the back story of why he started Learnovate focusing on AI-assisted grading and what it is meant to solve for the users. Last but not least, JC shares his perspectives on how the future of education will evolve with generative AI and explains what success will look like in the next few years.

Silicon Valley's AI saga took an unexpected twist this week. OpenAI reinstated Sam Altman days after the company board ousted him. But rather than settling the dust, the company's rollercoaster ride has sparked intense debates surrounding AI regulation. Last Friday, when OpenAI announced the decision to remove Altman from his position, rumors swirled about the company's motivation. Reports suggested a clash between money and ethics, with the board fearing Altman moved too fast to cash in on the new technology, despite its potential dangers. Could the internal strife at OpenAI be a harbinger of broader challenges faced by global regulators in navigating the uncharted waters of AI ethics and governance? Host Zhao Ying is joined by Prof. Pascale Fung, Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research at HKUST; Andy Mok, Tech Analyst and Senior Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, and Edward Lehman, Managing Director of LEHMAN, LEE & Xu Law Firm.

Alte Probleme mit vermeintlich neuen Lösungen sind ein Thema und auch die Geschwindigkeit mit der die IETF Standards produziert. Selbst die Kultur der IETF im Wandel der Zeit wird aufgegriffen. Ein wilder Mix nach der langen Sommerpause.

My guest in this episode is Eric Sim. A key opinion leader on LinkedIn, Eric Sim, CFA, is the author of the book Small Actions: Leading Your Career to Big Success. Previously, when based in Hong Kong, Sim served as a managing director at UBS Investment Bank and an adjunct associate professor of finance at HKUST. He founded the Institute of Life with a mission to train young professionals to be successful at work and in life. I met Eric Sim one year ago when I left my corporate career and needed a coach to help me navigate my social media presence. I saw a clubhouse event he was organizing. I checked his Linked profile and could not believe that he had more than 2 million followers. I registered, and he invited me to ask my questions on the stage during the event. This is how we connected. In the following months, Eric helped me crystalize my strategy and fine-tune my goals. I established many valuable connections with his help. And he gave me the confidence to start writing on LinkedIn. I have never met Eric in person, but I always wanted to share his story – from his humble beginnings to the powerhouse he is today. He made the portfolio career “a thing.” When we were recording, I asked him to walk me through the stages of preparation and execution when he was leaving banking. The answer was not what I expected! Eric said the first thing he did was design his new company's logo and print the business cards. He knew he was ready to leave the banking job when he confidently handed out these new cards, accepting his new future. His three key takeaways for success in any career pivot are three “S”: - Build your Social capital well before you need it - Build your Social media presence - Build your Social network Please tune in to hear his fascinating journey. Happy listening!

In this riveting and wide-ranging conversation, Senior Fellow Anja Kaspersen is joined by HKUST's Professor Pascale Fung to discuss the symbiotic relationship between science fiction and innovation and the importance of re-envisioning ethics in AI research. We may be able to code machines to seem and act more like humans, says Professor Fung, however the ability to question our own existence to understand who we are, are fundamentally human features and cannot be easily or even responsibly encoded.

May Liao is a Lecturer of English for the Center for Language Education at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Levi Lam is also a Lecturer at the center. One of May's roles is to organize "socials" for first-year students in an English core course that focuses on English for academic purposes. This podcast explores some the challenges of organizing these socials, the many benefits for these students as they transition into their first year of university, and what the future holds for learning communities at HKUST.

The first two rounds of the Life-Sparring Podcast were well received, but a few listeners' feedback was that they wanted to hear more from me, the host, and not just from the guests. Be careful, what you ask for, your wishes might come true. Here we go with the first solo shadowboxing round. Topics covered in this round: Story of Life-Sparring, Clubhouse, Urine Analysis, Keto Diet, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.More details on the episode page: life-sparring.com/podcast/2021/01/26/life-sparring-round-3-shadow-boxing-life-sparring-clubhouse-urineanalysis

In this episode from HKUST our hosts Tess Hogue and Levi Lam talk to Sean McMinn about what is digital literacy and why it is relevant to language teaching.

It is clear that we have to change the way we live our lives in order to stop how we are damaging the planet. That change can not happen soon enough and the impact should be as big as possible. My today's guest, Chris Brown wanted to contribute to that change. So 18 months ago, he started ReThink HK and he worked relentlessly on creating the launch of the Sustainable Business Forum & Solutions Expo in Hong Kong. Despite the difficult circumstances caused by Covid19, the expo was a huge success with over 800+ visitors live and online back which took place in October 2020. And now Chris is already busy together with his colleague, Tiffany Liang, a fresh graduate from HKUST with an Environmental, Management & Technology degree and other team members to create next year's event. In this interview I am talking to Chris and Tiffany about their drive to contribute to a better and greener Hong Kong, why this is so necessary and how Chris journey as an entrepreneur started.

While online learning has been around for a long time, a confluence of events, including restructuring of universities which affect modes of delivery, pandemics and in the case of Hong Kong recent protest movements have resulted in a boom of innovations including blended learning. As we know, blended learning is a combination of face to face and online delivery of courses. These courses are the future as they address a number of needs. These include flexibility and efficiency in terms of resources, classrooms for example; flexible use of time for both teachers, academics and students and finally the use of technology both in terms of devices e.g. mobile phone and online resources. As with anything, there are problems and challenges, for example, keeping students motivated to do the online work and logistical issues. Today we have Rebecca Farmer and Kin ( Tang Kin Hun) from the Centre of Language Education,HKUST. They are part of a team, the E core team headed by Liza Yew and they have been charged with the very big job of introducing 4 new courses, specifically using blended learning. These courses will eventually replace the existing 1st year, undergraduate core courses, the bread and butter courses of CLE.

The work of Stuart Gietel - Basten, Professor of Social Science and Public Policy at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, is focused on population and policy issues in Asia with a special attention to low fertility and population ageing. He has received several research grants to study demographic change and public policy (like fertility preferences in Beijing and Taipei). It is very interesting to hear his story of how he became a scholar, to learn more about the influence of culture on population composition and refreshing to talk with someone whose conclusions are based on data in this time of biased news reporting. Stuart is very active and passionate on Twitter -https://twitter.com/stuartbasten. Information about his books ("Why demography matters" and "The population problem in Pacific Asia") can be found on Amazon (for discounts, you can contact Stuart directly).

"Stay focused on the truth, even if you don't like them" ~ Prof. De Kai De Kai is an American activist, musician, professor of Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST, and Distinguished Research Scholar at Berkeley's International Computer Science Institute. He is among only 17 scientists named Founding Fellow by the Association for Computational Linguistics, for his pioneering contributions to machine learning foundations of machine translation that led to the Google/Microsoft/Yahoo/etc translators. De Kai was recruited as founding faculty of the University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong directly from UC Berkeley, where his Ph.D. thesis was one of the first to argue for the paradigm shift toward machine learning-based natural language processing. He holds a Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA and a BS in Computer Engineering (Phi Beta Kappa, cum laude, Revelle College honors) from UCSD. For his work on AI, machine learning, machine translation, natural language processing, music technology, computational creativity, Debrett's HK 100 recognized De Kai as one of the 100 most influential figures of Hong Kong. For his work on AI ethics and society, De Kai was one of eight inaugural members selected by Google in 2019 for its AI ethics council. Dedicated to intercultural understanding, he created the HK-based world music collective ReOrientate and has spoken and performed for many TEDx, media, and other international venues. Fun fact: If you have ever used google translate; you got De Kai to thank for that.

丽莎老师讲机器人之世界首款3D视网膜人工眼欢迎收听丽莎老师讲机器人，想要孩子参加机器人竞赛、创意编程、创客竞赛的辅导，找丽莎老师！欢迎添加微信号：153 5359 2068，或搜索钉钉群：31532843。由香港科技大学(HKUST)与加州大学伯克利分校合作，最近开发出了世界上首款3D人工眼，其功能要优于现有的仿生眼，在某些情况下甚至超过了人眼，从而为人类带来了视觉类人机器人和视力障碍患者的新希望。科学家们已经花费了数十年的时间来尝试复制生物眼睛的结构和清晰度，但是现有义肢所提供的视觉(主要是通过外部电缆连接的眼镜的形式)在2D平面图像传感器的分辨率下仍然很差。然而，由香港科技大学开发的电化学眼(EC-Eye)不仅首次复制了自然眼的结构，而且将来实际上可能比人眼提供更清晰的视力，并具有额外的功能，例如在黑暗中检测红外辐射。突破性突破的关键特征是3D人工视网膜-由一系列纳米线光传感器组成，可模拟人类视网膜中的感光器。该团队由香港科技大学电子与计算机工程系的研究团队开发，将纳米线光传感器连接到一束液态金属线，作为实验过程中人造半球形视网膜背后的神经，并成功复制了视觉信号传输，以将眼睛看到的内容反映到计算机屏幕上。将来，那些纳米线光传感器可以直接连接到视力障碍患者的神经。与人眼不同的是，成束的视神经纤维(用于信号传输)需要通过毛孔穿过视网膜-从视网膜的正面到背面(从而在人类视觉中形成盲点)，然后才能到达大脑；现在，散布在整个人造视网膜上的光传感器可以通过背面各自的液态金属线来馈送信号，从而消除了盲点问题，因为它们不必穿过单个点。除此之外，由于纳米线比人类视网膜中的感光体具有更高的密度，因此，如果将来与各个纳米线进行背接触，则人造视网膜可以接收比人类视网膜更多的光信号，并有可能获得更高的图像分辨率。通过使用不同的材料来提高传感器的灵敏度和光谱范围，人造眼还可以实现其他功能，例如夜视。下一步，计划进一步改善设备的性能，稳定性和生物相容性。对于假体的应用，期待与在视光学和眼科假体方面具有相关专业知识的医学研究专家合作。人造眼的工作原理涉及一种从太阳能电池类型中采用的电化学过程。原则上，人造视网膜上的每个光电传感器都可以用作纳米级太阳能电池。经过进一步的修改，EC-Eye可以成为自供电的图像传感器，因此在用于眼科假体时不需要外部电源或电路，与当前技术相比，它更加人性化。

China is trying to find the solutions to its immense waste crisis. According to World Bank numbers, the country is currently dealing with 200 million tonnes of garbage a year. Landfills are crammed and a burden to their surrounding communities. To solve this, China is building more waste-to-energy plants than the rest of the world combined. But is this the right direction?

Is it worth it to get an MBA if it's not Harvard, Stanford or Wharton?  Many candidates don't think so. In this episode Darren talks about the top 5 arbitrages that exist in the MBA world. If you know what's important to you, you can still "negotiate up" and get a great educational and life experience at many top MBA programs outside the top 3 (or top 7).

HKUST campus in Hong Kong Thank you to Sherring Ng, Head of Marketing & Admissions at HKUST Business School, and Pimluck Suvitsakdanon, a second year HKUST student, for an excellent admissions Q&A. The following excerpt offers some HKUST program highlights, a great introduction if you're considering applying to this top Asian business school: Linda Abraham: Sherring, what is new at HKUST? Sherring Ng: There are so many new things at HKUST, but I will highlight a few things. We noticed that more and more recruiters at HKUST expect graduates to speak some Mandarin. In the past, we have only had three weeks of Mandarin training courses for students, just as an exposure. But starting from this year, we actually have a one-year Mandarin training program at HKUST with different levels. So a student would need to pass one level in order to take another level of Mandarin training. But eventually they can take the Business Mandarin, which is credit bearing, to learn Mandarin in business settings; like how to do interviews, how to do presentations, make reports, etc. This is one of the new things. Another thing is that we have started a pilot this past winter. We call it Professional Week. It is a very intensive training that lasts 4-5 days for students, from morning till evening. They need to do a lot of presentations, case analyses, business analyses, etc. The purpose of that is for students to really drill their skills in analyzing the different scenarios in a very short time; to do presentations, to work in teams, etc. And we are very happy about this pilot because the feedback has been very positive. And then after that training, we have sent many students overseas for different kinds of case competitions or business plan competitions. One of the competitions is the USC Marshall Global Consulting Challenge. It was held in Los Angeles, and our students won the first place. Another one is the HULT Global Case Challenge, which was held in Shanghai. Our students also won that regional competition. So it seems quite effective. Starting from our year-one students, we give an iPad to all students. And this coming summer, we plan to have something like a portal or platform for students when they are attending classes. They no longer need to bring all the notes, the package, or books; they can access all the reading materials, PowerPoint, etc. on their iPads. So it really facilitates a learning experience and also is very environmentally friendly.
