How to use AI without having it use us?
We invite curious minds to gather, play, and think together in a productive space, whether you’re an enthusiastic adopter of AI, a cautious skeptic, or somewhere in between. We’ll explore what “mindful AI use” can look like in real life, and we’ll probe questions that are becoming increasingly urgent: How can we use AI in ways that preserve authenticity and originality rather than suppressing them? How do we engage AI so it supports (instead of dulling) creativity and critical thinking? What habits and norms help us stay in the driver’s seat—using AI as a tool for thinking and making, rather than outsourcing our voice, judgment, and agency?
The event will include a speaker session to frame key ideas, a student panel sharing real experiences and preferences, a practical workshop on best prompting practices, and a fun activity designed to keep the tone lively and hands-on. Faculty, students, community members—all are welcome, regardless of discipline, background, or prior experience with AI. Join us Friday, March 27, 10:00am–3:00pm for an engaging, thoughtful, and practical workshop.
