Hong Kong Olympic medallist Siobhan Haughey and entrepreneur Joanna Hotung urged students to prioritise deep reading over the convenience of AI at a recent fireside chat.
“AI can give you logic and something that is objective, but it really leaves a big part of the emotions out,” Haughey said during the “Empower Through Reading” panel, a fireside chat supported by Chanel that brought together dozens of local students.
The pair spoke about reading's ability to build human connection and how it can help people form their identities, encouraging attendees to remember that AI is a tool for memory, but reading is a tool for thought.
Teacher tip: Start a discussion with your class about their reading habits. How often do they read? Why do they do it? Does AI affect how they read? Check out an easier version of the story on Spark!
As a fatal inferno ripped through Tai Po’s Wang Fuk Court, dozens of distraught pet owners huddled in the cold outside a nearby estate, clinging to hope that their animals were still alive.
Waiting with them were volunteers from various animal rescue groups, ready to receive any surviving pets that firefighters pulled from one of Hong Kong’s deadliest fires in decades.
“When firefighters carry animals down, we go and receive them immediately,” said Bon Chan, the founder of local rescue organisation Turtle Inn. He spoke to Young Post about how volunteers worked together to care for some of the smallest victims of the tragedy.
