We’ll discuss where the technology stands today, what’s working, what’s not, and what skills students should be developing to stay relevant in an AI-powered economy.

How is Artificial Intelligence already reshaping the future we are entering, and what does that mean for young Singaporeans today? 🤔
 
From universities integrating AI literacy into curricula to companies helping SMEs and ITEs build digital capabilities, AI is no longer a distant concept — it is already becoming embedded in everyday life. As Singapore accelerates AI adoption, important questions emerge: How do we balance innovation with accountability and inclusivity? What will an AI-driven future mean for students preparing to enter a rapidly evolving workforce? 
 
Join us for Living with AI: Governance, Disruption & The Road Ahead, featuring Minister Josephine Teo in conversation with Nicole Tan, Managing Director of Meta Singapore, alongside Benjamin Chan, student entrepreneur and founder of Mythos, as we explore how AI is transforming education, industries, and the future of work in Singapore 📚 
 
Through perspectives from public policy, industry leadership, and student entrepreneurship, this dialogue aims to move AI towards meaningful conversations on how we can engage with it responsibly and effectively. 
 
🍽 Dinner will be provided from 6pm onwards

SMU Apolitical Society was honoured to host the Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs, Mr. Edwin Tong ( ) at our dialogue, Shaping Society: Law and Social Progress in Singapore. 🤝 

The dialogue explored the role of the rule of law in shaping a fair, stable, and progressive society, inviting students to reflect on how legal frameworks evolve alongside changing social norms and emerging challenges. Through an engaging discussion and Q&A session, Minister Tong shared valuable insights on governance, public trust and the importance of balancing continuity with change. 💬 

We extend our sincere appreciation to Minister Tong for his thoughtful sharing and for taking the time to engage directly with our student community. 🙏 

This event would not have been possible without the dedication of the SMU Apolitical Society organising team, moderator, partners and supporting staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the dialogue a meaningful experience for all. 

Lastly, thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed thoughtful questions and perspectives throughout the session. Your engagement made this conversation truly impactful and gave us much to reflect on!  

Let us continue to stay curious, stay engaged, and work towards shaping a thoughtful and inclusive future together. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
