Master Class: Boosting Critical Thinking to Outsmart Gen AI

Would you use Gen AI to create a shopping list, a holiday plan, and a final presentation? Probably. Would you use Gen AI to learn how to ride a bike? Probably not. Some skills can only be learnt by actually learning and doing them.

 There are two things that Gen AI cannot do: think critically and build interpersonal relationships. Being able to construct your argument, defend it, and use your communication skills to persuade others is critical to you as a human being and (later) a working professional. In this session, Vice Dean Alistair Fildes will share his introduction to the world of critical thinking and influencing in the Gen AI world.
