AI's Transformative Impact: Insights through Global Collaboration and Intercultural Learning

In a captivating Live Class session on July 10, students from South Korea and India explored the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). After they researched various AI solutions and its impact in their respective countries throughout the semester, these young minds showcased their unwavering dedication to investigating current problems and envisioning AI-driven solutions for a better world.

During the Live Class, Korean students shared various AI solutions to different issues in their country. They also discussed the potential of AI counselors to treat human psychology, highlighting the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of this approach. In addition, students considered the impact of AI on existing human psychologists and emphasized the need for careful consideration about its impact on the job market. Furthermore, students explored the role of AI in preserving marine ecosystems, addressing marine waste, species identification, and monitoring as well as the potential of AI self-driving cars to reduce drunk driving accidents, alongside the need for appropriate legislation in case of accidents.

Indian students, in turn, presented their research on AI's impact in various sectors. They highlighted the transformative potential of AI in transportation, education, and manufacturing. Students emphasized the benefits of self-driving cars, digitized books, AI tutors, and AI-powered robots. Environmental protection was another crucial aspect they addressed, recognizing AI's role in disaster management, water usage monitoring, and energy optimization. Students also explored the potential of AI in enhancing financial services and addressing common challenges faced by India, such as poor quality education, unemployment, health issues, and agricultural obstacles.

As the students engaged in profound discussions, their shared ambition and dedication shone through their words. "Our shared ambition lies in investigating current problems and exploring the possibilities of solving them through AI," expressed one of the Korean students, capturing the students' collective drive to tackle real-world challenges using artificial intelligence. Another student from India added, "While both Korea and India utilize AI in various fields like environment, safety, and accident prevention, India's AI focuses more on people's welfare." Students also pointed to the fact that while both countries harness the power of AI in various sectors, India is still in the early stages of adoption, whereas Korea has been a leader in AI use. Most importantly, they also underscored the importance of ethical approaches in using AI.

The students' exchanges paint a vivid picture of their shared determination to harness the boundless potential of AI as a transformative solution and to highlight the similarities and differences between their countries’ application of AI and approach. As the students immerse themselves in meaningful discussions, they gain a great appreciation for diverse perspectives, deepen their understanding of global challenges, and foster a collaborative spirit towards building a more sustainable and inclusive future.

Growing As Citizens of the World: Students Address Water Challenges

In a world where access to clean water remains a pressing concern, IVECA continues to empower students by facilitating virtual exchanges that transcend borders. Ahead of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) later this month, the recent Live Classes between Korea, China, and Tunisia served as platforms for students to explore the theme of water access inequality and how we can work together to solve the issues many of us face.

During the Live Class between Korea and China, students delved into the water-related problems prevalent in their countries. Students engaged in in-depth research, investigating the quality, usage, and accessibility of water resources in their communities. They explored issues such as water pollution, scarcity, and the adverse effects on health and economic development. Korean students highlighted issues like radioactive substances, heavy metals, and water-use restrictions on companies while emphasizing the need for safe and clean water to ensure sustainable development. Chinese students echoed these concerns, addressing daily water usage, water pollution, and the shrinking of rivers and lakes due to human activities.

While the Live Class between China and Korea centered on discerning the water problems their communities face, students from Korea and Tunisia embarked on a mission to propose innovative solutions to water-related challenges. Inspired by the United Nations' sustainability efforts, they sought to make a tangible impact by creating cleaner water opportunities in their respective countries. With a focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as cleaner energy, innovation, job and economic growth, clean water, and a green environment, these young minds formulated proposals ranging from biological wastewater treatment technologies to water circulation systems powered by sunlight. Tunisia's students showcased initiatives like SunDrop, a nonprofit organization employing advanced technologies to combat increasing droughts, and AquaFlow, a rainwater collection and purification system for households and communities.

As IVECA continues to bridge the gap between students across the world, our shared mission aligns with the overarching goals of the United Nations HLPF, which is to tackle global issues through the full implementation of UN SDGs. By addressing water challenges, IVECA highlights the urgency and importance of SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) while promoting dialogue and understanding among young global citizens. Through their research, discussions, and proposed solutions, students exemplify the potential for collaborative action in creating a sustainable future.

The journey of these students, from exploring water issues to proposing innovative solutions, demonstrates the power of virtual exchanges in nurturing a sense of global citizenship. Their dedication to addressing water challenges underscores the interconnected nature of our world and the need for collective efforts to safeguard this vital resource. As the HLPF provides a platform to discuss and drive sustainable development, initiatives like IVECA amplify its message by empowering the younger generation to actively participate in finding solutions to global issues.

As one of the students from Korea put it, "Our meeting today will be the first step in our growth as citizens of the world." The Live Classes not only provided a transformative learning experience but also nurtured a sense of interconnectedness among students from different cultures and backgrounds. These remarkable exchanges reiterate the importance of education to shape global perspectives and ignite a passion for positive change.
