What you’ll learn

Adopt a Hybrid Mindset: Commit to the “hybrid path,” which leverages machine capabilities while preserving human judgment and meaningful direction.
Unmask the “Calculator Effect”: Clearly explain “The Calculator Effect” and how over-reliance on AI can erode innate human judgment.
Identify “Model Blindness”: Learn to recognize and prevent the uncritical acceptance of AI-generated outputs.
Decode “Algorithm Risk”: transition from being an operational bottleneck to being a critical oversight layer.
Strengthen Reasoning & Argumentation: Improve your reasoning skills to effectively evaluate the logic and structure of AI-generated arguments.
Spot Cognitive Biases: Identify common cognitive biases
such as automation bias and groupthink
and recognize when an AI system might be amplifying them.
Master Information Corroboration: Develop systematic processes for Corroboration
validating critical AI outputs against independent human and data sources.
Practice Metacognition & Reflection: Integrate reflective practices to monitor and audit your own thinking processes as they increasingly intertwine with AI.
Develop Conceptual AI Understanding: Set appropriate expectations for AI by understanding its core concepts
moving beyond treating it as a “magical oracle.”
Apply Human-AI Evaluation Frameworks: How to systematically evaluate the work of both human colleagues and AI systems within a cohesive workflow.
Drive Effective Human-AI Collaboration: Gain the skills to direct AI systems effectively
avoiding the extremes of competing with them.
Cultivate Adaptive Intelligence: Develop the capacity to continuously evolve your own professional capabilities as AI technology itself rapidly changes.
Perform AI Recalibration: Master the practice of Recalibration
constantly adjusting your perception of an AI’s capabilities and limitations based.
Integrate System Insights: Acquire the “meta-skills” necessary to integrate AI-generated insights with practical
human-centered wisdom.
Challenge False Correlations: Develop the rigor to actively challenge false or misleading correlations presented in AI models and data outputs.
Build Audit Workflows: Construct clear
efficient workflows that successfully integrate AI speed with necessary human-led fact-checking cross-referencing.
Maintain Professional Agency: Learn the specific practices required to maintain your judgment and agency while working with increasingly capable AI systems.
Direct Technological Evolution: Thoughtfully direct the evolution of technology within your organization rather than merely reacting to its adoption.
Address the Skills Gap: Identify the critical “Organizational Skills Gap” and advocate for cultural and skill adjustments alongside technological rollout.
Become a Critical Thinker with AI: You will graduate with the ability to ensure AI serves as a powerful tool in your hands and not a crutch for an absent mind.

Description

Critical Thinking with AI: The Complete Course
The world of work and knowledge has fundamentally changed. AI is no longer just a tool; it is an active participant in creation, analysis, and decision-making, transforming how we think itself. This course is your essential roadmap to maintaining your professional agency and judgment amidst this intellectual inflection point. You are at a crossroads: you can either compete with AI (a losing long-term strategy), or you can surrender your thinking to increasingly capable systems. Critical Intelligence offers a third, hybrid path: one that embraces technological evolution while ensuring you maintain the cognitive fitness to direct that evolution wisely.
Course Overview
This isn’t a course on how to use AI—it’s a course on how to think effectively alongside it. Critical Intelligence is presented as a cohesive approach that is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s an integrated framework for leveraging machine capabilities while maintaining meaningful human direction and oversight, ensuring you remain the ultimate arbiter.
The program is built around eight interconnected capabilities that will strengthen your critical thinking muscles for the AI-augmented world:
I. Foundational Critical Thinking Skills
These are the timeless cognitive muscles refined by humans over centuries:

Reasoning & Argumentation: Learn to construct well-reasoned arguments and apply a human filter to evaluate complex AI-generated claims.
Understanding Biases and Mental Models: Recognize and manage cognitive biases, and spot when AI might be amplifying them rather than counteracting them.
Information Literacy: Develop the skills necessary to verify AI-provided information appropriately.
Metacognition and Reflection: Monitor and understand your own thinking processes, especially as they become intertwined with AI systems.

II. AI-Augmented Intelligence Skills
These capabilities are essential for thriving in the new landscape:

Conceptual Understanding of AI Systems: Set the right expectations by understanding AI systems, avoiding the trap of treating them as either magical oracles or mysterious black boxes.
Human-AI Evaluation: Employ systematic frameworks to understand how humans and AI must evaluate each other’s work.
Effective Human-AI Collaboration: Direct AI systems effectively, avoiding the extremes of either competing with them or deferring uncritically to their outputs.
Adaptive Intelligence: Ensure you, as a human, continue evolving your own capabilities as AI itself rapidly evolves.

Actionable Practices: The “How” of Critical Intelligence
You will learn not just the ‘what’ of Critical Intelligence but the ‘how’—specific, practical habits and techniques that create distinct advantages in an AI-augmented environment.

Recalibration: The necessary practice of constantly adjusting your perception of an AI’s capabilities and limitations based on its actual performance, not its initial promise.
Corroboration: The systematic process of validating critical AI outputs against independent human or data sources before acting on them, especially in high-stakes domains.
Scrutiny: The disciplined habit of systematically questioning claims and requesting evidence before accepting conclusions from any source.
Counterargument: Deliberately formulating the strongest possible case against your own position to identify and address vulnerabilities in your reasoning.

By mastering these concepts and practices, you will secure your professional success and maintain your human judgment as the ultimate arbiter while leveraging computational capabilities for efficiency and insight.
