​AI Roundtable: The 2-Year Anniversary

​AI can answer questions instantly, explain complex ideas, summarize dense material, and act like a tutor on demand.

​That creates a harder question for anyone who cares about learning:

​Are we using AI to deepen understanding, or are we outsourcing the very struggle that builds expertise?

​For the 2-year anniversary of the AI Roundtable, we’ll explore how AI is changing education, professional development, and skill-building. We’ll look at where AI genuinely accelerates learning, where it creates intellectual shortcuts, and what responsible learning looks like when powerful tools sit one prompt away.

​This will be a conversation for educators, leaders, builders, consultants, students, and curious professionals who want to think more clearly about how humans learn in the AI era.

​We’ll discuss questions like:

​• When does AI help people learn faster?
• When does AI weaken critical thinking or deep work?
• How should schools, companies, and teams teach durable skills now?
• What should responsible AI-assisted learning look like?
• How do we preserve curiosity, judgment, and expertise when answers feel instant?

​The AI Roundtable is a monthly forum for AI exploration, practical insight, and peer-to-peer learning. Founded in 2024 by Kelly Byrnes of Voyage Consulting Group, it brings together professionals who want to understand how AI is changing work, leadership, creativity, education, and everyday life.

​Sponsored by The AI Collective, the AI Roundtable connects innovators from Kansas City and beyond for open conversation, real-world examples, and thoughtful discussion about what AI makes possible and what it asks of us.

​All are welcome. Whether you are leading AI adoption, experimenting with tools, building new workflows, teaching others, or simply trying to make sense of the pace of change, this is a place to learn with others.
