Seminar Highlights

Expert Presentation: Professor Wray Buntine delivered an in-depth and thought-provoking talk on Generative AI, the Knowledge Revolution, and the Role of Universities.

From chatbots and avatars to AI tutors, education is undergoing a digital transformation at an unprecedented pace.

At the same time, Professor Wray Buntine emphasized the critical challenges accompanying these advances—including AI hallucinations, misinformation, and digital inequality. He highlighted the importance of integrating AI with human connection, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility.
