“There’s this fear that AI will replace us and that our jobs will be redundant,” said Zara Safi Kazi, Assistant Project Manager of NeuVision.

“But I think the panellists were able to address this issue, that it is just a tool that we should incorporate.”

“We even used ChatGPT to help us with writing the formal emails and formats for this event,” said Lee Yan Xuan, Project Manager of NeuVision.

Ng Wai Yee, one of the panellists shared that as a lecturer, she believes the event is well-done and it’s evident that there was a lot of consideration for the topic and speakers.

“This forum is a good reality check for the students, and provides them with a glimpse of what the industry is like.”

As the tech-savvy newer generation eventually enters the workforce, they’re encouraged to use AI technology to bring a fresher perspective to the industry. Infusing AI into the process of event planning has potential, provided due diligence to fact-checking has been done.
