Beyond the Obvious: How to Think in the Age of Generative AI
About this course
Generative AI tools are revolutionizing how we access information, make decisions, and form opinions, but they also introduce new risks. In an age where AI can generate confident-sounding claims, charts, and arguments at scale, critical thinking is more essential than ever. In this course, you’ll use Generative AI as a thinking partner to spot false patterns, challenge biased evidence, break apart misleading averages, and uncover logical flaws in headlines, dashboards, and data-driven claims. Along the way, you'll learn to recognize classic reasoning traps, from Simpson’s Paradox to base rate neglect, survivorship bias, and more. By the end of the course, you'll be able to evaluate arguments using logic and evidence, not emotion or popularity; detect hidden assumptions, flawed comparisons, and biased sampling; and use AI tools to test claims, simulate opposing views, and sharpen your reasoning. Whether you're a student, decision-maker, or lifelong learner, this course will help you use AI not just to think faster, but to think better.
