As we come face to face with the AI revolution, are we prepared for what lies ahead? As a leading voice in the community, SPH Media tackled this quandary with The Straits Times Education Forum, held earlier this year, in partnership with SMU and in support of SkillsFuture. Starting the event on a high note was Mr. Jeremy Au Yong, Editor of Newsroom Transformation with The Straits Times. He facilitated a live conversation with Sophia, Hanson Robotics’ most advanced human-like robot. The exercise was executed to accomplish two goals: to compare Sophia with other chatbots, and to determine if Sophia’s physical aspects made the interaction feel more or less natural.
