On Thursday's Backchat, we talked about how artificial intelligence is transforming the education system, after the Hong Kong Polytechnic University recently announced that it's adding a mandatory AI-related course to its curriculum. Experts told us how understanding AI-related tools will help meet the evolving needs of students.
