Human-First Paths with AI: Three Private Clinics for Students, Scholars, and Creatives
AI is everywhere, but the real differentiator now is how we think, write, and create with it. Rather than teaching “what AI is,” these offerings focus on judgment, ethics, authorship, and voice, so learners expand their capabilities without outsourcing their minds. All three clinics are provided by Dr. Pamela Chrabieh, and are available online and/or face-to-face at Kulturnest (Lebanon).
In a world of accelerating automation, originality comes from disciplined inquiry, ethical practice, and clear self-expression. These clinics help you turn AI from a shortcut into a partner; one that sharpens reasoning, strengthens identity, and elevates creative and academic outcomes.
The three clinics at a glance
Human-First AI Clinic (High-School Students)
A practical foundation in critical thinking and research literacy for teens. Students learn to question better, verify sources, spot bias and hallucinations, and keep their own voice intact while using AI as a structured thinking companion.
*Why it matters:
As AI becomes ubiquitous in classrooms and daily life, students risk being drowned out by generic outputs. This clinic shows them how to ask better questions, verify sources, identify bias, and turn AI from a shortcut into a thinking partner that strengthens - not replaces - their judgment.
*Ideal for secondary students (ages ~14–18) preparing assignments, personal statements, competitions, or creative projects.
*You will learn to: Practise critical questioning and structured reasoning with and without AI; Conduct credible research: source-checking, triangulation, and citation ethics; Identify bias, hallucinations, and shallow answers, and push for depth; Turn prompts into process: from idea → outline → draft → revision with your voice intact; Build a personal stance on digital ethics and responsible use at school and online.
Critical AI & Academic Writing Clinic (MA & PhD)
For graduate students and early-career researchers who want rigor without losing authorship. Develop sound research questions, map literature responsibly, tighten arguments, and document transparent AI use, while meeting scholarly and institutional standards.
*Why it matters:
Graduate researchers face pressure to publish fast in an AI-saturated environment. This clinic helps you harness AI for literature mapping, conceptual synthesis, and revision - while preserving originality, methodological soundness, and compliance with your institution’s policies.
*Ideal for MA/PhD candidates, early-career researchers, and professionals preparing dissertations, theses, papers, grant proposals, or policy briefs.
* You will learn to: Frame research questions and build rigorous, falsifiable arguments; Map literature responsibly using AI as a guide, not a ghost-writer; Detect and correct logical gaps, methodological drift, and citation weaknesses; Draft and revise sections (abstracts, introductions, methods, discussions) with clarity and voice; Document responsible AI use (transparency statements, reproducibility notes, ethics).
Creative Practice & AI Studio (Ethics, Identity, Visibility)
For artists and creative entrepreneurs who seek distinction in an algorithmic world. Build an ethical, author-led workflow with AI, protect and refine your voice, and craft bios, statements, and descriptions that reflect your identity and help your work stand out.
Why it matters:
AI can accelerate output but also flatten style. This studio protects your artistic identity while expanding your toolkit: you’ll learn how to iterate with AI without losing authorship, and how to position your work to stand out in crowded feeds and marketplaces.
*Ideal for Artists, designers, photographers, writers, and creative entrepreneurs seeking responsible acceleration and stronger market presence.
*You will learn to: Design a personal creative workflow where you lead and AI assists; Make ethical choices: datasets, consent, cultural sensitivity, and crediting; Develop a distinct voice and narrative: artist bios, statements, captions, and descriptions that sound like you; Curate and present work for exhibitions, portfolios, and platforms to avoid “algorithmic drift”; Set boundaries: what AI does, what you do, and how you document the process.
