AI and Learning: What's Actually Happening
Location not specified yetPeople are already learning with AI, and not always in the ways anyone planned for. This panel will dig into what’s actually happening: how students are using it, what it might be doing to how we think, and what’s worth protecting about learning when an answer is one prompt away.
Three things we’ll get into:
- How AI differs from the tools we’ve always offloaded thinking to, like calculators and GPS, and where helpful offloading ends and skipped learning begins
- What student AI use looks like at home and in school, which norms have actually stuck, and whether schools should teach AI, protect AI-free time, or both
- What employers are noticing in people entering the workforce, and practical habits for using AI to think better rather than less
This is for anyone who teaches, parents, manages people, or just cares about how the next generation learns and works.
Panelists:
- Seth Fleischauer, Founder & President of Banyan Global Learning, host of Make It Mindful: Insights for Global Learning
- Mohan Nair, author of Unreachable: How Not to Lose Your Mind in an AI-Obsessed Era
- Dr. Rachel Brown, Willamette University computer science professor and former NVIDIA research scientist who studies how neural networks organize information

In Dialogue with AI: The Promise of AI (Night 3)
Location not specified yet🚨 Register on Luma 🚨
Six evenings that use the defining technology of our moment to re examine our relationship to one another. Not AI as a tool to master or a threat to repel, but a sustained question: who are we in dialogue with when we use AI, and what is it teaching us about ourselves?
Each evening stands on its own, and the six together make an argument. There is nothing to catch up on and no background required, beyond having noticed that something has changed.
This is not a technical course. It is an invitation to look at AI plainly, together, and to notice what it is teaching us about ourselves. Bring whatever you already think. It holds up better in a room full of people than it does alone.
