Learning How to Learn in the Age of AI
AI is no longer just changing what we do, it is changing how we learn, think, create, and grow. As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday education and work, one of the most important skills of this decade is learning how to learn alongside it.
Join us for a discussion panel presented by The AI Collective Boulder, the AI Development Club at CU Boulder, and the Leadership Development Program at CU Boulder. Together, we are convening a conversation on how AI is transforming the way students, professionals, educators, and leaders build knowledge, develop skills, and adapt in real time.
From study habits and critical thinking to professional development and lifelong learning, this event will explore what it means to stay curious, capable, and resilient in an AI-shaped world. By bringing together voices from across the Boulder community, the university, and leadership-focused spaces on campus, this panel aims to create an open and thoughtful forum on the future of learning in an age of rapid technological change.
Expect a practical and forward-looking discussion on how AI is reshaping education, how to use these tools without becoming dependent on them, what human skills matter even more in an AI-enabled future, and how learners and leaders at every stage can continue to grow with intention.
