Working with AI: Critical Thinking in the AI Era Training Course
$27.50 inc. GST
Working with AI: Critical Thinking in the AI Era explains why AI has made deception, deepfakes, cloned voices, and AI-amplified misinformation far more convincing and far more common than they used to be — and what that looks like when it reaches an ordinary workplace rather than a headline. It’s part of the five-part Working with AI series, building directly on Fluency Foundations.
You’ll learn which warning signs still hold up as the technology improves and which have already gone stale, and build a three-part verification habit — checking through a second channel, tracing content back to its source, and pausing on urgency — that protects you regardless of how convincing a fake becomes. Designed for all employees, it finishes with an instant digital certificate on completion.
This course will take approximately 36 minutes to complete.
Why is Critical Thinking in the AI Era Training Important?
AI-generated deception is no longer rare or confined to high-profile targets. It specifically exploits the same trust cues people rely on every day — a familiar face, a familiar voice, a request that fits the situation.
Relying on spotting a glitch is a losing strategy, since that kind of advice ages badly as the technology improves. A verification habit that doesn’t depend on detecting anything about the fake protects both employees and their organisation far more reliably, and stays useful long after any specific warning sign is out of date.
This topic builds that habit directly, so employees have something durable to rely on rather than a list of tells that expire.
