𝐀𝐈 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌: 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐃𝐄? Lecturers say one thing. Students say another. And AI is sitting there like: “You called?” 😭 This is not your usual classroom debate. At the Hub Unconference, we’re putting lecturers and students in the same room to get into the real questions: 🔴Is AI helping us learn or helping us skip the learning? 🔴Where does “using a tool” end and cheating begin? 🔴Are we becoming smarter with AI or just faster at avoiding the hard parts? And if you’ve ever been to the Hub at Shoko Festival, you already know… Things can get VERY interesting😊 Come for the debate. Stay for the chaos. Leave with your opinions thoroughly challenged. 24 SEPTEMBER | THE GREEN, HARARE GARDENS FREE ENTRY.
