Teaching Public Speaking in the Age of AI

Public speaking might seem old-school in a world of chatbots, video calls, and bite-sized content, but it's still one of the most powerful tools in any professional's toolkit. So how do you teach it to a generation raised on screens and algorithms?

Deborah Chris Raj from Taylor’s University joins us to talk about Malaysia’s first AI-integrated HyFlex public speaking module, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way students learn to connect, persuade, and lead.
