Your Diploma in the Age of AI: What else is worth learning and how do you prove that you know

What does a valuable degree look like in a world where AI generates anything? What skills remain, what skills disappear, and how do you prove you really have them?

Your Diploma in the Age of AI: What else is worth learning and how to prove you know is a webinar that brings together teachers, entrepreneurs, industry professionals and public policy makers for an honest discussion about transforming the labor market and education into the AI era.

Why this topic?

Generic webinars on the ‘future of work in the AI era’ are already oversaturated. The theme of this webinar touches on a tension that the audience feels directly: I'm learning the right things, and will anyone think I've learned them? A relevant question for students, parents, mid-career professionals and teachers who are rethinking their programs.

Confirmed speakers

Seven speakers in debate format — short interventions, not individual presentations. A balance between the labour market and academia.

From the labour market

• Mugur Pantaia — Managing Director, HP Inc. Romania. Corporate perspective on changing skills demands.
• Corvin Pughin — Managing Director, Maguay. Perspective on industrial tech, recruitment and team development.
• Magda Popescu — Lawyer. Regulation, AI Act, legal implications of using AI in the workplace.

From academia

• Octavian-Dragomir Jora — Professor, ASE Bucharest. Perspective from economics and social sciences.
• Răzvan Bologa — Professor, ASE Bucharest. Economic information systems and digital transformation.
• Alin Ștefănescu — Director of the Department of Informatics, University of Bucharest. Curriculum decisions in computer science at one of the central IT faculties.
• Varujan Pambuccian — Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Policy, digital legislation, and a historical perspective on ICT.

Topics for discussion

The webinar is built around two big questions:

Question 1 — Honest diagnosis (35 min)

What is really changing in the world of work and education? Where is the public debate wrong – too alarmist or too complacent?

Question 2 — Credible portfolio & legal implications (35 min)

How do you build a credible portfolio in an era where AI generates almost everything? What role do the legal implications (AI Act, AI use in interviews, copyright) play?

To whom it is addressed

• Students planning their portfolio and career
• Teachers rethinking their courses and assessment
• Mid-career professionals re-evaluating their skills
• Educational and occupational policy makers
• Parents and the general public interested in the impact of AI on work and education
