Critical Thinking in the Age of Artificial Intelligence : from Algorithm to Human Insight - a UNITBV workshop
12 November 2026, at 4:00 p.m., Studio 181 hall, UNITBV Rectorate building
Transilvania University of Brașov, through the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Business Administration, invites the academic community, as well as all audiences interested in breakthrough science and technology, to a workshop delivered by two prominent members of the academic teaching and research personnel, Lect. Eliza Ciobanu, PhD, and Prof. Radu Lixăndroiu, PhD.
The workshop, conducted within the project FDI CNFIS-FDI-2026-F-0377 – “University as a Hub for Critical Dialogue: Integrating Cultural and Educational Practices” and valorising the interdisciplinary didactic initiative Critical Thinking in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: From Algorithms to Human Insight, will be hosted in Studio 181 hall, Rectorate building, on Thursday, 12 November 2026, starting at 4:00 p.m.
Against a backdrop of information, opinions and decisions algorithmically mediated at an ever-growing pace, the highlight of the proposed discussions and activities will be the role of higher education in developing a reflective and independent mindset, capable of critically analysing the impact of artificial intelligence on the way we learn, think and act.
Within the workshop, an interdisciplinary educational model, based on experience, dialogue and digital exploration, and structured into seven interactive modules, will be introduced. It covers digital critical thinking, algorithmic decision-making mechanisms, bias and ethics, the deepfake phenomenon and source verification, the use of AI in various professional fields, the human-algorithm dynamics, and the development of intellectual autonomy.
