Over the course of two hours, students engaged actively with SMS Tan,
raising more than 15 thoughtful questions. Discussions revolved around:
-
Support for vulnerable populations – including eldercare and healthcare access
-
AI and digital ethics – focusing on supporting healthcare needs, managing misinformation, and responsible innovation
-
Governance and trust – examining the balance between transparency, regulation, and civil liberties
It was a valuable opportunity for students to reflect on Singapore’s present realities, build a stronger sense of belonging, and express hopes for the nation’s future.
