AI and ME
As artificial intelligence transforms the daily lives of Gen Z—the digital native generation—it has become urgent to question our relationship with this technology. How do we redefine our existence in a digital world? How is AI reshaping our perception of reality, our ways of learning, and our ability to envision the future? This Think Tank is created by and for students.
Key Themes of Our Discussion:
-
Identity and Human Value: Faced with machines capable of producing a thousand times faster, what is our unique added value? What remains of our creative role?
-
Professional Future: What is the purpose of learning if automation threatens our future jobs? How do we stay indispensable?
-
Societal Impacts: Beyond the technology itself, what are the ecological, social, and geopolitical impacts of this revolution? Should AI be feared or embraced?
-
Technology vs. Humanity: As “high-tech” dominates our value system, where do poetry, aesthetics, and love still reside? What place is left for the dreamer alongside the engineer?
These questions touch the very core of our knowledge, ethics, and spirituality. If you are eager to explore these themes and share your perspective, join the discussion!
