Beyond the Algorithm: How to Critical Think in the Age of AI
About this Event

The rise of artificial intelligence has fundamentally reshaped our relationship with information. From personalized news feeds to generative AI assistants, we are constantly engaging with content and decisions shaped by algorithms. But as AI becomes more powerful and pervasive, what happens to our own ability to think critically?


This dynamic lecture series will explore the vital and evolving role of critical thinking in a world saturated with AI.

We will move beyond the common anxieties about AI "making us dumber" to a practical and empowering discussion on how to thrive—not just survive—in the AI era. We will explore together how AI influences our cognitive processes, from reducing our need for rote memorization to creating new challenges like identifying misinformation and algorithmic bias.

Participants will learn and practice key critical thinking skills that are now more essential than ever. Get your brain thinkin'


LEARNING OUTCOMES:


Understanding the AI Black Box: Demystifying how AI works, what it's trained on, and why its outputs are not always reliable.
The Art of Asking Better Questions: Shifting from seeking simple answers to formulating complex, nuanced queries that AI cannot solve on its own. Learn how to identify problems and opportunities that an algorithm would never consider.
Fact-Checking in a "Hallucinating" World: Developing strategies to evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, bias, and credibility. We will discuss the new rules of digital literacy and source verification.
Identifying and Challenging Algorithmic Bias: Exploring how AI models can reflect and amplify existing societal biases, and how to critically analyze their outputs to mitigate this risk.
Augmenting, Not Offloading: Practical exercises on using AI as a tool to enhance your own thinking—for brainstorming, summarizing, and data analysis—without sacrificing independent judgment or creative thought.

This -VIRTUAL- lecture series is for anyone who wants to take control of their cognitive life in the face of rapid technological change. Join us to transform from a passive consumer of AI-generated content into an active, discerning, and powerful critical thinker.
