There’s No Code for Curiosity: How AI Is Driving the Shift from Search to Synthesis
A Talk by Michael Deperro (Senior Coordinator, Faculty Development & Professionalism, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine)
About this Talk
Choosing a school used to feel like detective work, with clues to follow, questions to chase, and answers to uncover. But that landscape has changed.
Now families ask AI, “What’s the best school for my child?” and get one confident answer. No digging. No clicking. No intake forms. Just an instant verdict from an algorithm that’s never met their child.
Your school’s reputation is being shaped in conversations you’ll never get to be a part of, by systems you can’t fully see or control. In this talk, we’ll explore how AI is transforming curiosity and critical thinking, and how this changes everything we thought we knew about discovery.
