What you'll learn

Catch AI performing instead of thinking.

We watch your AI agree with you, then watch it fold. You leave able to tell engineered confidence from real competence.

Read any AI answer critically.

A way of reading any AI answer that exposes where it guesses, flatters you, or quietly leaves things out.

Decide when to use AI and when to leave it alone.

You leave with the question under it all: when to use AI and when to leave it alone, the frame the course builds on.

Why this topic matters

AI is in almost every decision you make at work now, and the advice has not kept up. Most of it teaches you to prompt faster. Almost none of it teaches you to judge what comes back. Critical AI literacy is that judgement: knowing when a tool helps and when it quietly costs you. In one session you get three prompts you can use straight away, and a clear sense of the skill worth building.
