Step into the "Horror House of AI" for a playful yet insightful look at why AI sparks fear, especially in education. From job loss to ethical concerns, participants will explore exaggerated headlines and real worries through short case studies. What fuels our anxiety: loss of control, misinformation, or uncertainty? This interactive session invites laughter, reflection, and debate to unpack the FUDD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, Disinformation) around AI, and aims to equip educators and decision-makers to face these fears with greater clarity and confidence.
