In the second show of the fourth series, Amaanat and Mr Williamson look inside and outside of SIS to explore the impact of AI. Ms Sharman talks law, accountancy and AI pitfalls when creating personal statements for University applications whilst we also hear from three external guests working in law, accountancy and ethics and the impact AI is having on sectors outside of education.

And welcome back to a new season!

Today's episode will be the first in a new series focusing exclusively on Artificial Intelligence.

Our host of the day is *drumroll* Donald Ma 👏👏👏! The new Communications officer here at SIS.

"But where's our usual host, Mr Williamson and Amaanat Rekhi?" Well, fear not; today, Iain and Amaanat have their turn in the hot seat as our guests!

Today's episode will be about AI, focusing on how it relates to our school, how it can potentially benefit us and what challenges we might face.

In the season finale we finally talk about....Esports 

This episode we bring in special guest like Mr Oliver, many Bauhinia Students (Cameron Lee, Nathaniel Lam, Shriyans Gadnis & Andrew Luo) and even Jason Prohaska the Digital Tech Coach at the ESF to talk about their perspective on games and the effect is has on us. We get to hear about about the gaming world and the students interest. What are the benefits and drawbacks of these games in our lives and will we finally have a Esports tournament? Listen to find out :)

In the season 3 finale of the Tech bubble, We invite the guest...Mr Williamson?? Taking a step back from his host spot, we are joined by this episodes special hosts: Amaanat Rekhi & Chloe Jazzy Lau. Coming back so soon is the previous host of the tech bubble, ready to start an interesting discussion before she finally departs. Another 'guest' that occasionally pops in is the producer of the tech bubble! (make sure to watch out for her parts)

In this episode, we discuss all things Mr Williamson. Like his thoughts on social media, technology and learning. This episode also includes our second Vox pop seen in the previous ep, where this highlights an interview about a mini esports tournament in school led by four y13's. Is this the potential comeback of esports?! (We will just have to wait and see)

In this episode of the Tech Bubble, We welcome The Mother's Choice Youth Leadership Council to the podcast. The four heads of the council: Davina Ho, Amaanat Rekhi, Chloe Kong and Skylette Cheung, have come on to the show to introduce their council and to discuss the dangers of social media as it continues to grow in the lives of teenagers. There are links made with sexual consent with internet safety that bring potential risks and dangers, even privacy being violated on social media platforms. They discuss the importance to protect oneself against these online dangers and the social biases in dating (dating apps). Through this episode they hope to help and share their view points to protect oneself online and to be a responsible user. 

Also, this episode shows the beginning of a new segment - Vox pop! A short segment which catches the opinions and perspectives of students in school, with this one on student's opinions on chrome extensions. Watch out for future segments in future episodes!

Lastly we bid farewell to our amazing co-host Chloe Jazzy Lau, who will be sadly leaving the podcast but we wish her the best on her journey after South and the Digital Leadership Council - we hope she will come back for future episodes as a guest and shares her perspective on future discussions. 

As always, if you have any suggestions, questions or ideas. Feel free to email [email protected] 

Regarding the impacts of social media's presentation of an 'ideal' body, as well as the effect on people's self-esteem by trying to reach the unrealistic image portrayed.

Concerning the 21st century paradigm shift to Artificial Intelligence.

In our first Tech Bubble episode of Season 3, we dive right into the beloved art form – film. With filmmaking veterans John and Larissa Curran discussing filmmaking culture in Hong Kong and pre-digital filmmaking, and Alison Thomas and Nicholas Tam with their fresh-takes on digital technology in film and social media, this episode spotlights how technology has shifted our approach to storytelling through film. This episode also excitingly marks the beginning of our video-based episodes that you can now find on the Digital Leadership Council YouTube channel (which FYI, took a production crew of over 10 students and 3 multi-cams – talk about harnessing the full potential of film!) As always, if you have any suggestions, ideas or questions, please email [email protected] :)

In our TTB season 2 finale, we delve into the convergence of technology and environmental sustainability, using the results of a DLC school-wide survey that quizzed students about their choice of search engine to underpin our discussion. We harness the diverse perspectives of our guests from the non-profit, policy-making, activism and academia space to tackle topics from the future of environmental policy to the Ecosia/DuckDuckGo vs. Google debate – maybe then, dear listeners, will you finally pivot away from Google, perhaps? All jokes aside, thank you to all our guests that have contributed to season 2 of the Tech Bubble and we can't wait to bring you new content in our forthcoming season!

Is privacy policy consent an illusion? Should we abandon WhatsApp and pivot to Signal? Is data the new oil? In this long-awaited Internet Safety Week 2021, our SIS-alumni bring a spectrum of perspectives on the hard-hitting topic of data privacy, metadata – or as one of our guests put it, data about data – and the thought-provoking debate of surveillance capitalism. Fear not dear listeners, as with all our episodes, we close with our guests sharing their advice on how we can safeguard our data and mitigate privacy risk.
