HONG KONG: Using virtual reality headsets, students at a Hong Kong university travel to a pavilion above the clouds to watch an AI-generated Albert Einstein explain game theory.

The students are part of a course at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology that is testing the use of"AI lecturers" as the artificial intelligence revolution hits campuses around the world.

"AI teachers can bring in diversity, bring in an interesting aspect, and even immersive storytelling," Hui told AFP. This is mixed with in-person teaching by Hui, who says the system frees human lecturers from the"more tedious" parts of their job. Pan Hui, a professor leading a project on AI education at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, slips on a headset. Educators around the world are grappling with the growing use of generative AI, from trying to reliably detect plagiarism to setting the boundaries for the use of such tools.

"Those who liked it really loved it. But some students felt they couldn't trust what said," she said. A laptop screen shows the first-person view of a virtual reality headset worn by a student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
