Imagine a classroom where students from Lagos to Lima collaborate on projects using AI tools, amplifying voices often left out of global conversations. 🎓 That’s the future Zhou Qing'an, dean of Tsinghua University’s School of Journalism and Communication, envisions as artificial intelligence reshapes education and cross-border teamwork.
Speaking at the Global Civilizations Dialogue in Beijing, Zhou called AI a "game-changer" for the Global South, enabling communities to share stories and ideas on a scale never seen before. 🌍 But it’s not just about tech—educators must evolve too. "Teachers need to become guides in digital spaces," he said, emphasizing the shift from traditional lectures to fostering creativity and collaboration.
Think of AI as the ultimate study buddy 🤖: It helps students create viral social campaigns, analyze global trends, or even design virtual cultural exchanges. But Zhou warns: "Without human connection, AI is just code." The challenge? Balancing innovation with empathy.
For Gen Z digital natives, this means classrooms could soon feel more like TikTok meets TED Talks—dynamic, interactive, and borderless. 📱✨ Ready to level up?
