Voices of the Future brings together secondary and high school students from across Singapore to explore one big question:

How should we shape AI before it shapes us?

Hosted at the ArtScience Museum, this first-of-its-kind national debate on AI blends student-led dialogue with real-world demos, expert panels, and public conversation on technology, trust, and tomorrow.
