    Temporary bans on Grok AI chatbot / Study on AI reliance among students / Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Philip Wong

    On Wednesday's programme, we'll look at the ban on billionaire Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot. Indonesia and Malaysia have temporarily blocked the chatbot over its tool to create fake, sexualised images. A number of European countries, including the UK, are also mulling a similar ban.

    After the break, we talked to a local think-tank, which recently found in a survey that a quarter of students were unable to do their homework without the help of AI. It's also calling on schools to offer a more comprehensive AI curriculum to better harness the technology.

    Wrapping up our programme, a doctor from the Department of Health joined us to talk about the Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.
