Artificial Intelligence (AI): friend or foe
The event will explore AI's impact on younger generations, highlighting both positive and negative effects. AI tools like ChatGPT assist students with essay outlines, coding, and sourcing, yet they may also hinder learning if used to generate answers directly.
