Critical Thinking in the Age of AI

AI is transforming the way we live, work, and make decisions. But in a world driven by algorithms, the most valuable skill isn’t how fast you can execute, it’s how well you can think.

Welcome to Critical Thinking in the Age of AI — a course designed to help you strengthen the skills that make us uniquely human, like reasoning, judgment, problem solving and communication.

We’ll start by exploring what it means to think like a strategist. While AI excels at execution, it relies on humans to ask the right questions. We’ll explore the habits of great critical thinkers, introduce the pillars of clarity, logic and creativity, and discuss why these skills are more important than ever.

Next we’ll introduce proven, time-tested frameworks for structured reasoning, from classics like the Socratic Method and Aristotelian logic to modern approaches like the Paul-Elder Critical Thinking model. We’ll introduce the core principles, practice applying them to real-world business cases, and explore how they can help you work smarter with AI, from writing better prompts to evaluating model outputs.

From there, we’ll start building powerful problem solving skills. You’ll learn how to translate vague requests, build testable hypotheses, and design measurement plans that align with business goals. You’ll also learn how to analyze and interpret data with confidence, by separating signal from noise, spotting flawed reasoning, and avoiding logical fallacies – like confirmation bias and false causation – that AI models tend to struggle with.

Last but not least, we’ll focus on the art of turning insight into impact. We’ll share practical tips to help you communicate with clarity and confidence, anticipate objections and defend your reasoning, and present data-driven stories that inspire stakeholders to act. This is how you move beyond simply “pulling reports”, and start delivering real value on the job.
