Critical Conversations About AI: Who Is Driving Education?

Date(s): Monday, November 2 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Location: Thinkerspace, G124

AI is reshaping how we learn, teach, create, work, govern, and relate to one another. Universities are being asked to respond quickly to technological change and guide students through a rapidly shifting educational landscape that we can’t fully see yet. And while the pace seems urgent, there are deep, complex, and incredibly important questions we need to ask that are ethical philosophical, political, ecological, pedagogical, cultural, and deeply human.

Topic: Who Is Driving Education?

  • Educational technology is never neutral. It carries assumptions about what education should value and measure, and how learning should be delivered. Should technology companies be influencing the future of education?
  • What does it mean for universities to become dependent on commercial AI ecosystems?
  • How do AI tools quietly redefine what counts as learning, intelligence, creativity, and success?

These conversations are an opportunity to think across disciplines and perspectives; they are not about finding consensus.

Questions worth thinking about together: This series is designed around eight themes. Each month explores a critical theme through multiple lenses. We begin with tensions, contradictions, and questions that deserve sustained conversation. This is a monthly conversation series that takes place the first Wednesday of the month (except November which will take place on a Monday).
