AI is permeating all aspects of our everyday life. It is no longer confined to the field of research or higher education. Introducing AI education into pre-university education has become a global education trend. The CUHK Jockey Club AI for the Future Project brings together local technology educators and experts to discuss how teachers in local primary and secondary schools should cope with the opportunities and challenges brought to teaching and learning by the advent of AI and promote the popularisation of AI education.
