Importance of AI and technology in improving efficiency in the industry. Sustainability and diversification are the ways to go.

Cross disciplinary knowledge and skills, and application of the knowledge and skills learnt. Critical thinking skills that allow students to think out of their scope of professional learning, and ability to collaborate with other professionals to add value at the industrial and societal level.

What was striking was how the concept of "mobility" is constantly being redefined to improve efficiency of urban travel, and unlock new opportunities to certain groups of people whose possibilities may have been limited previously without innovations in transport. Mobility may seem rather trivial at first glance but is ultimately important for ensuring that access to essential services and opportunities is made equitable.

Hyundai's use of accumulated data over a sustained period of time is particularly relevant for education, because such large archives of previous trials and results can be used to generate datasets that are analysed to identify problematic areas, and subsequently used for future targeted troubleshooting attempts to remedy issues with learning.

The increasing use of technology that makes jobs easier and efficient, as well as replace physical processes: Some examples are like: Augemented reality to guide surgeons during surgery. GenAI to replace manual note-taking, RPA bots that allows automated data entry, video conferencing for consulations and physiotherapy.

The push to encourage innovation in the use of technology, and the implementation of innovations. Example: Hackathons for employees to create bots for work processes. Upskilling courses and platforms for employees to learn about innovations and technologies.

The re-designing and re-structuring of jobs for continued relevance as work processes undergo changes with the implementation of technology. Example: Redesigning the job of hospital attendants to integrate specific skills related to radiology processes, that were done by nurses in the past.

Important to train students to be mentally prepared for rapid changes in the course their future careers and develop adaptability and flexibility for them.

The use of AI, bots and automation will be prevalent. But have to teach students not to be dependent on them for learning. But rather, use them as an assistant. Not their main mode of learning.

Use of AI and robotics in automation - nothing particularly new anymore, but just seeing it in action locally drives home the point that this is the reality.

The irony is that the same factory that currently still requires a human to test drive the final product is also currently producing robot taxis that will in due time render the test driver redundant.

Use of AI through data collected to enhance buyer experience in shopee and use of other AI tools available for sellers to advertise their products. E.g, a video can be created from a static photo.

Students need to have big picture thinking and problem-solving skills at the macro level - looking at processes from start to end, and how it impacts the various stakeholders.

For e.g., the factory while largely automated, still has a meta factory to test new factory configurations and approaches to optimise productionv before implementing it on the floor. This requires human input to analyse and innovate new solutions that look at the entire chain of production.

The farm to table concept is another e.g. of the need to visualise processes across different stakeholders to come up with novel business ideas and capitalise on the buzzwords of the day like sustainability.

The HR shared that beyond hard skills like coding, they are looking for people who have the drive. To them, coding skills can be picked up anytime. In addition, the HR dept also shared that they curate Chatgpt and Gemini courses for their employees to make it easier for them to harness AI in their work.

URA: Fostering active engagement with the community emerged as a central objective in our strategic planning for the future, especially as we maneuvered through various resource constraints and challenges. This emphasis on collaboration aimed to build strong relationships, gather diverse perspectives, and identify innovative solutions that would benefit both the community and our organization.

Instead of solely focusing on rote memorization or basic information recall, students can now leverage AI tools to access and process information more efficiently. This shifts the focus of learning towards developing higher-order thinking skills, critical analysis, creativity, and problem-solving.

Prioritize the development of uniquely human skills such as critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, collaborative problem-solving, and complex communication, which AI currently cannot replicate.

URA: There is a lot of active engagement with the public to amplify public voices and fulfil people's aspirations. Tools like Mentimeter, ChatGPT and Midjourney were demonstrated by the speaker at URA. The city that we have today is the outcome of forward-looking vision and long-term planning.
