# Learning with AI Without Losing Your Skills


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 10, 2026
- **Time:** 09:45–11:45 (120 min)
- **Room:** Room M7 (18 Seats)
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe

## Description

AI tools are changing how developers learn, from less "searching" to more "generating". This makes learning faster, but it can also lead to problems such as shallow understanding, lower-quality code, and overreliance on AI results.

In this workshop, you will learn how to ask better questions, turn explanations into hands-on learning, and use practical prompts to build expertise. You will also get a simple guide to help you know when to use AI, when to be careful, and when to avoid it.

The goal is to use AI to get feedback more quickly, not to replace the process of building real expertise.
