What if AI is the new linguistic gatekeeper? As the world speaks English in a dazzling array of accents and forms, why do our tools and our classrooms, still insist on one "correct" version? Discover how students in Hong Kong are hacking Generative AI to challenge these very norms, turning it from a tool of conformity into a weapon for linguistic justice. This talk reveals how the future of English isn't about speaking like a native, it's about who gets to define the standard in the age of machines.
