🧠 AI vs Human vs Hybrid: The Spaghetti Tower Challenge

How do humans, AI, and hybrid teams really compare when it comes to creativity, strategy, and collaboration?

Join AI & Society – Brisbane for a hands-on intelligence experiment like no other. In this interactive session, you’ll work in teams to tackle the Spaghetti Tower Challenge — a simple, high-pressure design task with a twist.

Each team represents a different form of intelligence:

• 🧍‍♀️ Human Teams – relying only on human creativity and communication

• 🤖 AI Teams – following AI-generated instructions exactly

• ⚙️ Hybrid Teams – blending human intuition with AI insights

It’s playful, fast-paced, and thought-provoking — designed to explore how we think, collaborate, and innovate in a world where AI is no longer optional.
