Overcoming Cognitive Bias

Coursera · Intermediate ·🛡️ AI Safety & Ethics ·1d ago
Every day, your brain is quietly shaping your decisions in ways you don't see coming. This course gives you a clear-eyed look at 10 of the most common cognitive biases — from confirmation bias and hindsight bias to the bias blind spot — and equips you with practical, evidence-based strategies to catch and counter them in real time. What makes this course different is its focus on application. You won't just learn what biases are — you'll practice recognizing them in realistic workplace scenarios, examine how they've already been showing up in your decisions, and walk away with concrete tools you can use immediately. Whether you're navigating a high-stakes negotiation, evaluating a colleague's performance, or simply trying to make better day-to-day calls, this course will sharpen your thinking and help you make decisions that are more rational, more balanced, and more effective. By the end, you'll have a personal framework for identifying bias before it derails your judgment — and the confidence to act on it.
