What does artificial intelligence mean to a generation growing up in its midst?
This anthology brings together the most powerful, imaginative, and thought-provoking essays from over 1,100 secondary school students across Hong Kong, who took up the challenge to reflect on the theme “AI and Me.”
From poetic meditations and speculative futures to heartfelt personal stories and ethical reflections, these young writers grapple with what it means to live, learn, and dream in the age of AI. Their work spans languages, emotions, and perspectives — at once playful and profound, vulnerable and visionary.
Organised by the Department of English and Communication at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, this first-ever competition was created to spark creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of how technology shapes our lives.
Whether you are an educator, a technologist, a parent, or simply curious about the minds of tomorrow, AI and Me offers a glimpse into the questions, hopes, and imaginations of the youth who will inherit — and define — the future.
