Critical Thinking in the Age of AI (AIE23)


Description

AI tools have the potential to boost your productivity and automate your repetitive tasks, leaving you free to do more creative work. It’s no surprise that people have adopted these tools quickly. But letting AI get on with the work without any human oversight can lead to inaccurate content. 


To use AI tools effectively, you need to be able to critically evaluate AI-generated content. AI may use low-quality data that produces inaccurate or biased content, such as harmful stereotypes. But you can use critical questioning techniques, like asking for source verification, to check the content. And you can use your own judgment to make smarter, safer decisions about using AI. 


By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: 

  • Identify the limitations and potential biases of AI-generated content 
  • Describe how to apply critical questioning techniques to AI-generated content
  • Assess the credibility and potential risks of AI-assisted tasks in the workplace 


Why take this course? 


AI can’t guarantee accurate answers, so it’s important to question its responses. This course is for anyone who wants to think more critically about using AI tools. It’ll show you the problems and biases that can affect AI-generated content. You’ll also learn how to question AI outputs and evaluate when it’s safe to use AI for work tasks.
