Given the ubiquitousness of A.I. in the workplace and academia, there’s an emerging gap between those who pawn their thinking off to A.I. and those who understand how to use A.I. to elevate their existing critical thinking skills. That gap will only widen rapidly in the coming years. While some people are content with letting A.I. do their work for them, many people want to use A.I. to improve their own thinking, ideas, decisions, and communications. But they don’t know how. Yet, with emerging research revealing that reliance on A.I. actually degrades individual thinking skills, those who learn to harness A.I.’s power to improve rather than diminish their intellect will become the job-hardened members of the workforce who standout as indispensable to any organization. Fortunately, establishing a thinking-positive relationship with A.I. is easy provided that people understand the simple science behind doing so.

Attendee Outcomes:

• Understand how human brains function like LLMs, and how to break LLM patterns for stronger critical thinking
• Establish a thinking-positive relationship with A.I. (instead of the thinking-negative relationship in which most people are trapped)
• Recognize how to spot work from colleagues that was done by A.I.
• Capitalize on A.I.’s efficiencies for menial work while seizing opportunities to stand out as an elite problem solver, colleague, and leader
