Overview
Critical Thinking with AI is a course about the judgment layer that most AI training skips entirely. It teaches professionals how to evaluate AI outputs before acting on them, using a structured verification system, a decision calibration framework, and a set of advanced cognitive skills built specifically for the errors AI produces most reliably and most invisibly.
By the end of this course, you will have a repeatable process for reviewing any AI output, a documented reasoning trail for high-stakes decisions, and five thinking capabilities that no AI system currently replicates. Your work will be more defensible. Your thinking will be sharper. The two are related.
Learner Profiles
Who is the Critical Thinking with AI For?

The Professional Who Signs Off
You use AI regularly. You review outputs quickly. You forward things you have not fully verified because they look professional and you are busy. This course gives you a systematic process for closing that gap, so the work you send reflects your judgment, not just the AI's confidence. Starting from the first week you apply it.

The L&D Leader Rolling Out AI
You are responsible for how your team uses AI, and you know that access without critical thinking training is a liability you cannot fully see until something goes wrong. This course gives you a deployable team framework, a Manager's Reinforcement Guide, and a shared vocabulary for output quality that changes how your team reviews work.

Why Join this Program?
A System, Not a Set of Tips
The VERIFY Framework is a named, structured, six-step process for evaluating any AI output. It is not advice. It is a repeatable professional method. You will use it before the course ends.
Tool-Agnostic by Design
The frameworks here work with every AI platform in use today and any that emerge over the next decade. You are building judgment, not learning to operate a specific tool. That distinction compounds in value over time.
Built for Real Workloads
Fifty minutes of video, structured for two sittings. The first applicable skill can be used on your next AI interaction. Some courses are designed for completion. This one is designed for application.

Course Description
This course builds professional AI judgment through eight structured sections: from understanding where and why AI thinking fails, through a six-step verification system, to advanced decision intelligence, risk oversight, and a personal supervision framework you leave with on day one of application.
Unit 0 — Welcome and Orientation
Three orientation lectures. Understanding the two types of AI professionals, the hidden skill no one is teaching, and the shift from AI user to AI supervisor.
Unit 1 — The AI Thinking Gap
Where AI thinking breaks down: the default shift from doing to supervising, the automation bias, and the confidence-competence inversion that makes errors invisible.
Unit 2 — Problem Architecture
Why ninety percent of AI failures happen before the prompt. Defining the success metric, context injection, and the prompt manoeuvre workshop that resets how you brief AI.
Unit 3 — The VERIFY Framework
Vani’s six-step AI audit system. Introducing VERIFY, hallucination hunting, corporate default bias, bias-reverse tools, the search-verify loop, high-stakes simulation, and the practice run.
Unit 4 — Decision Intelligence
When to override AI. Decision documentation, the trust calibration model, and the trust calibration test that tells you when your judgment should take over.
Unit 5 — Risk, Ethics, Agentic Supervision and Your AI System
Data hygiene, the ownership trap, the AI sanity check, judgment under pressure, agentic workflows, the weekly AI audit, and your complete personal AI supervision framework.
Course Highlights
- 35+ Structured Lessons and Practice Sessions
- 8+ Applied Exercises and Frameworks
- Lifetime Accessibility

Hands-on Projects
Each project builds a deliverable you use immediately: a verified AI output, a documented decision, and a personal supervision system.

Find out how learners transformed their judgment after this course.
I thought the way I was using AI was fine. I was reviewing outputs, applying my experience, moving efficiently. Three days after completing this course I caught a fabricated citation in a board report that had passed two senior reviewers. The VERIFY framework paid for itself in that one afternoon. I now run it on everything significant.
