From smart devices to digital assistants, AI is reshaping everyday life, even for those who don’t actively use it. In this session we explore how to stay grounded, confident, and connected in a world that’s increasingly AI-enabled. Learn how to think critically about AI, make intentional choices about its place in your life, and protect your sense of purpose, identity, and connection as the world around us changes. No technical skills required -this is a class about people, not machines. This class is a lecture; no computers will be used during class.
