According to this article from SCMP, Hong Kong has introduced the first AI curriculum for junior secondary students. The curriculum aims to teach students basic AI concepts, computer vision, speech and language, robotic reasoning, AI ethical issues, and the impact of AI on society. Students will also learn to generate pictures and write letters using mirror sites of ChatGPT.
Students will need to use mirror sites, of course, because ChatGPT is not currently available in Hong Kong.
