Battle of the Universe: Collective Human Wisdom vs AI
Workshop
Join this fast-paced, interactive workshop where you’ll go head-to-head with AI in responding to real-life challenges from emotional support work – from acute suicidality to boundary-crossing callers.
In each of 3–4 rounds, you and your group will craft your best response to a use case – and then compare it to what AI came up with. The audience votes after each round… and in the end, we’ll crown a winner.
In the final debrief, we’ll explore where AI supports us, where human intuition is irreplaceable – and how the two might work hand in hand.
