a new mobile application called Farm Assistant,developed by Wu Zeyin,farmers in Botswana can make their work much easier.Wu,an 11-year-old pupil from Hubei province,moved to Botswana with his family seven yearsago.During the past years living in the country,he found that the quantity of fruit and vegetables soldat local supermarkets was very limited,and the quality was poor.Some vegetables werent ripe,suchas small carrots and green tomatoes,and they were quite expensive.Tropical savanna（草 原）and desert climates are typical in most parts of the country,makingit difficult to grow common crops.Drought-tolerant species of corn,sorghum and beans are alsouncommon,For a long time,Botswana had to import many grains,fruits and vegetables fromneighbouring countries,such as South Africa,to meet the needs of its people.Botswana has made a series of cooperative arrangements with China to get rid of foodshortages.In July last year,a pilot project to grow Chinas water-saving and drought-tolerant rice wassuccessfully undcetakun in Gaborone,the capital of Botswana,which brought Wu some new ideason local agriculture.At that tim ej was preparing for the first Youth Artificial Intelligence and Future Media GlobalInnovation Challenge,he said,When I got the news,I gave up my first plan of developing apersonal time management app,and decided to develop an app for agriculture.0The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally,including tomatoes,potatoes,onions,com,can*ots,cabbage,eggplant and radishes,Farmers who use the application can click on the pareto see its watering needs,Hpening time,seed price,selling price and production.After planting theseeds,farmers click the timer to start,and the application reminds them what to do at each stage.When asked why he wanted to help local farmers here,Wu quotes an old saying in China:“Give a man a fish and you feed him fbr a day;teach him how to fish and you feed him for alifetime.24.Which can be the

poems,and has passed a numberof tests within seconds.Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used ineducation.Some universities have banned it.The New York Citys Department of Education,forexample,banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks,with some people warningthat it could encourage more students to cheat,especially in exams.Many more welcome this app,claiming that,like most technological advances andgroundbreaking innovations in history,ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of highereducation.Embracing Al as early as possible is advisable.Higher education institutions should makepreparations for including AI in their syllabus（教 学 大 纲）.They can start by offering relatedcourses,because by understanding how it works,they can make better use of it.Besides,studentswith good knowledge of Al are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job,as anincreasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation withhumans,Al-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience moresuitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses.As for professors,AL canfree them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting withstudents.Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other Al-powered applications from entering the field ofhigher education,we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on societyand the future of education,Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and

areinvolved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000 vehicle-animal accidents each year.In the countrysunderpopulated region,the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to pandemicpercentage.It is believed that killing kangaroos is critical to boosting the economy.Meat,skins,and leatherfrom kangaroos have been sold to 56 countries.Global brands such as Nike,Puma,and Adidas buystrong,soft4 4k-leatherH to make athletic products.And kangaroo meat is finding its way into moreand more grocery stores.Advocates point out that low-fat,high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal moreenvironmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-releasing sheep and cattle.John Kelly,formerexecutive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia,says/Harvesting our

call the killing inhumane,unsustainable,and unnecessary.Dwayne Bannon-Harrison,a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales,says the idea thatkangaroos are destroying the country is laughable.t4Theyrve been walking in this land a lot longerthan people have,“he says.4tHow could something thafs been here fbr thousands of years bedestroying*the country?I don*t understand the logic in that.”Can Australians1 disagreement on kangaroos be solved?George Wilson,a professor fromAustralian National University,says that if kangaroos were privately owned,then graziers（放 牧 人）would protect the animals,treating them as possessions.They could feed them,lease them,breed them and charge hunters a fee for access.tuIf you want to protect something,Wilson says,“you have to give it a value.Animals that are considered dangerous dont have value.If kangarooswere more valuable than cattle or sheepjandholders would work with the kangaroo industry onbranding,marketing and quality
