S2 Ep07 Digital Collaboration for Social Innovation
Tech for good can be amplified through digital collaboration. As Qiu Zhenyu from Sichuan Agricultural University observed, online shared documents have allowed the masses to rally resources to alleviate flood and public health crises. This means that we do not always need sophisticated technology to do good; what matters more is the technology's openness, ease of use, and collaborative features, opined Zhenyu, who won the Excellence Award in the Poster Category of the 2025 Tencent-CGS Academic Conference "Technology for Good: Driving Social Impact" with his teammate, Zhao Chenfang from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, China.

S2 Ep06 Can Teenagers Control Their Technology Use?
Teenagers' self-control in using technology is a contentious issue, with a tug-of-war brewing among the teenagers, parents, schools, regulators and technology companies.Research by Aaron Zhu (National University of Singapore) and Cui Shenglan (Hunan University) highlighted how teenagers want to have agency and autonomy in their technology usage, and how they share information to bypass controls. In our podcast episode "Can Teenagers Control Their Technology Use?", Aaron and Shenglan shared how the whole process is a relational practice, and that top-down controls may not be the best method. This finding especially bears relevance in the Asian context, where stricter family hierarchies and rules are commonly in place.Together with Janghee Cho (National University of Singapore), the team won the Excellence Award in the Poster Category of the 2025 Tencent-CGS Academic Conference "Technology for Good: Driving Social Impact". Tune in to the podcast series "Technology for Good", brought to you by NUS Centre for Governance and Sustainability.

AI as a co-worker could change how we view work dynamics. In this episode, Li Xina from the Singapore Management University opined that our perception of AI—whether we see it as a passive tool or as a co-worker with responsibilities—can reshape how we evaluate our peers and leadership at work."The future of human resources is not only human resources, but also the management of both algorithm and human capital," said Xina. Xina and his teammates Wesley W. Koo (Johns Hopkins University) and Wei Yang (China Europe International Business School (CEIBS)), had won the Excellence Award in the Commentary category of the 2025 Tencent-CGS Academic Conference "Technology for Good: Driving Social Impact".
