AI continues to make its mark in education. Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) founded the College of Computing and Data Science to champion responsible AI education with an ethical, societal lens, including initiatives like the Generative AI Lab. In parallel, the European AI Office is orchestrating the AI Act to safeguard rights and instil trust in AI applications across EU member states. Meanwhile, a significant cybersecurity lapse compromised over 210,000 records on the Philippine education ministry's platform, spotlighting the acute need for reinforced data protection measures amidst increasing cyber threats.
