Smarter or More Dependent? The Future of Learning

Smarter or More Dependent? The Future of Learning

We’ve all Googled our way to an answer — searching, comparing, and digging through sources to learn something new. But that process is changing fast. AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity can now summarise topics, provide instant insights, and even teach you new skills — all without leaving a chat window.

XP Ng, CEO of the Academy of Artificial Intelligence, talks about how AI-driven learning is reshaping the way we find and process information. They unpack what we gain — and lose — when algorithms think for us, how this shift could disrupt traditional search engines, and what it means for the future of curiosity, critical thinking, and digital literacy.

Produced by: Kishan Sivaswamy, Carol Wong

Presented by: Richard Bradbury
