Critical Thinking and AI: Skills That Make AI Useful
AI doesn’t replace critical thinking—it demands it. Your value isn’t in writing the perfect prompt; it’s in framing the right problem, applying judgment to AI outputs, and knowing when AI isn’t the right tool. In this session, we’ll challenge the myth that AI is eroding our critical thinking skills—and show how it can actually enhance them. We'll discuss how to evaluate AI output with curiosity and caution and walk away with a clearer understanding of the human skills—like ethical reasoning, bias detection, and synthesis—that make AI truly useful.

Takeaways:
- Learn why critical thinking is essential for getting value from AI
- Understand how to frame problems clearly for better AI results
- Get a simple framework to decide when to use AI
- Gain tools to evaluate AI output for truth, ethics, and reliability
