Event Description:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a niche technological concept to a force reshaping nearly every sector of society. From education and health care to business, art, and ethics, AI now plays a visible and often transformative role in how we learn, work, and make decisions. This webinar explores AI’s growing influence across society, emphasizing how today’s students are both witnesses and active participants in this technological shift. AI represents one of the most profound technological shifts of our time, simultaneously inspiring innovation, disrupting norms, and challenging our understanding of human creativity and knowledge.
