​About the Event

​During our May meetup, AI-Human Synergy, we explored what real partnership between humans and technology can look like - and where AI can meaningfully take over repetitive, routine work.

​In June, we are taking the conversation one step further and diving into one of the most important and controversial areas of this transformation: education and lifelong learning in the age of AI.

​We will ask a few uncomfortable questions:

​Can advanced language models and autonomous AI agents signal the end of the traditional role of the teacher, mentor, or professor?

​Where does AI truly support self-directed learning - and where does it only create an illusion of competence?

​Will AI-driven digital transformation in education actually give us what we need in the long run, or simply faster access to information?

​As always at The AI Collective, we are moving away from hype and simple answers. We are gathering in the academic heart of Wrocław with a curated group of people from business, education, technology, and academia to explore the topic from three angles: psychological, academic, and business-oriented.
