AI isn't just changing what we do—it's challenging how we learn. This guided conversation explores how Generative AI disrupts traditional models of skill development and expertise. If AI can already draft, analyze, and explain, what does mastery even mean anymore?
Together, we'll explore how the learning journey is shifting—from step-by-step competence toward judgment, creativity, and systems thinking. And how AI, used well, can become a partner in that process rather than a replacement for it.
Come ready to rethink where human value lives—and how we develop it—when intelligence is no longer solely human.
