Critical Thinking for Better Decisions in the ChatGPT Era

Coursera · Intermediate ·🧠 Large Language Models ·1mo ago
Enhance your decision-making skills in the age of AI with "Critical Thinking for Better Decisions in the ChatGPT Era." This innovative course brings together Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski, the team behind the wildly popular "Learning How to Learn," along with Adam Trybus, Professor of Logic at the Institute of Philosophy, Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Discover how your brain's fast and slow thinking systems influence decision-making, and learn to recognize when emotions or AI-generated content might be skewing your logic. Through real-world examples and cutting-edge neuroscience, you'll explore how even seasoned leaders can fall prey to cognitive biases and how to avoid similar pitfalls in an AI-augmented world. This course goes beyond traditional critical thinking approaches by examining the interplay between human cognition and AI tools like ChatGPT. You'll gain valuable insights into recognizing "tells" - subtle signs that emotions or algorithmic biases might be overriding reason - in yourself, others, and AI outputs. By the end of the course, you'll have practical tools to enhance your critical thinking, overcome biases, and make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex, AI-driven landscape. Prepare to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the ChatGPT era with confidence and clarity.
