For Professionals Who Make Decisions With AI

Critical Thinking with AI

For professionals ready to evaluate what AI produces, catch what it gets wrong, and build the kind of judgment that holds up in a real meeting.

Overview

Vani Aggarwal has spent 15+ years directing for National Geographic India, Discovery Channel India, and Fox Life, and co-founding Vaak Creatives, which has delivered brand work for Spotify, Vivo, and IndusInd across six countries. She has been teaching AI professionally for four years, with 350,000+ learners across platforms.

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.

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.

Where AI thinking breaks down: the default shift from doing to supervising, the automation bias, and the confidence-competence inversion that makes errors invisible.

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.

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.

When to override AI. Decision documentation, the trust calibration model, and the trust calibration test that tells you when your judgment should take over.

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.

    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.
