AI is more than a tool. It quietly shapes how we study, connect, and cope with demands of our academic and personal lives. At times it eases stress and isolation, but it can also deepen dependency and distraction.

This workshop invites students into a grounded conversation about AI’s hidden impacts on daily life and offers practical strategies for more mindful engagement with technology.
