ITSME:
Good luck with your event. I won't be joining but I still hope you have a good turn out and it goes well. Personally I am NOT a fan of AI, (duh) however, I do know that the genii is out of that box and it will never go back. I just hope that it turns out well and that in time the genii doesn't become something we never should have done (think A-bomb). Tech isn't bad or good, it's a reality in a changing world. It can be useful, but if we allow tech to take over reason and we stop doing things that show our humanity, then maybe we do need to re-think our rush to turn to tech for answers.
As an educator AI is here and we must get used to that fact. However, it doesn't mean I need to employ it when it isn't something critical to the learning. AI is merely a tool and it's not even a good one right now, too many bugs for me. I still need my students to critically think and use their brains constructively and not just look for easy fixes instead of finding knowledge that will expand them for the future. Just how I see things, and not a criticism of your love for AI.
Again, I hope your event does well.
