In today's world, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we work and learn. This talk explores how we can use AI tools to enhance our learning experiences, by looking at some (recent) research that has been done on the matter.

But as we embrace these new technologies, we must also ask ourselves: Are we becoming less capable of thinking for ourselves? Do these tools make us smarter, or do they risk dulling our critical thinking skills? This talk will encourage us to think critically about the role of AI in our education. Together, we will discover how to use AI to support our learning journey while still developing our ability to think critically.
