AI ethics, data misuse, student integrity, grading with AI, fear of cheating, copyright, fear of replacement, “is AI lying?”, human dignity in AI tools

Come curious, leave connected. These relaxed, come-as-you-are conversations center around the big and small questions we have about generative AI. Each session starts with a theme—a firestarter—and then flows freely based on who’s there and what matters most. There are no slides, no pressure, and no expertise required. Just a digital fire, some good company, and space to wonder together.

Sometimes we play a fire video. Sometimes we just talk. Sometimes we just listen. Drop in any time.
