Why do I need to learn the fundamentals if AI can just do it for me?

Event details
Everyone’s telling you AI will do the thinking for you. Dr. Raphael Wanjiku, a full-time professor at Nexford University, makes the opposite case: the people who get the most out of AI are the ones who already know enough to catch it when it’s wrong.
In this session, Raphael walks through what AI is actually good at versus what still needs a human, why skipping the fundamentals is really just outsourcing your thinking, and how pairing foundational knowledge with AI fluency is becoming the real career differentiator. Real examples across fields, not theory.

Different time zone? No problem!
You will leave with actionable strategies to:
- Where AI already beats you, and where it still needs someone who knows better.
- Why “AI can do it” quietly turns into “I stopped thinking,” and how to notice before it happens.
- How fundamentals turn AI from autopilot into something you can actually direct.
- Real examples from different fields where the fundamentals still decide the outcome, AI or not.
- A practical way to pair AI fluency with foundational knowledge, the combination that’s becoming the real career differentiator.

I would definitely hire other Nexford graduates. I've been really impressed with Onyinye's progress so far and anyone with that experience level is really a good fit for us at Microsoft.
