Developing Critical Thinking in the Era of ChatGPT

In an age where information is at our fingertips and AI like ChatGPT holds the spotlight, how do we navigate the waves of data without getting lost at sea?

In this lecture, we'll discuss the evolution of education intertwined with technology. From the philosophical to the practical, we’ll explore how to harness critical thinking to steer effectively through the digital expanse. We will also look at various examples of using AI assistants in education, both by teachers and students, transforming how we learn, teach, and think.
