Why this topic matters

Most AI tutorials teach automation—offloading tasks and chasing “right” answers to speed up work. This talk covers the opposite. Learn to go beyond using AI as an answer machine and use it to develop your own reasoning and sharpen your own outputs through socratic AI dialogue. Watch live AI conversations that keep human judgment at the center and leave with a Conversation Patterns Playbook.
