Sisyphus: The Punishment and Suffering of Students

This talk explores how the rise of AI and the overemphasis on information extraction is reshaping—and burdening—modern education. The idea is to challenge the misconception that learning is about acquiring facts and instead highlight the importance of dialectic reasoning and knowledge synthesis, a uniquely human task that AI cannot yet replicate, and to discover how AI is pushing us to rethink the true purpose of education in contemporary culture. Farhad Bahram from Communications and Art & Design will present.
