About the topic

Can We Still Think Without AI? Tools like ChatGPT and Claude can give us answers to any question we might have in seconds. But as we increasingly rely on AI for answers, decisions, and advice, are we strengthening our thinking - or slowly outsourcing it?

Join Vice Dean Alistair Fildes for a Masterclass exploring how AI is shaping our minds, what the latest research reveals about how we use these tools, and the practical habits we can adopt to ensure we don´t outsource our ability to think critically and independently.

You'll also learn how to turn AI into a tool that sharpens your strategic and critical thinking - using it to pressure-test ideas, challenge your assumptions, and reason better than you could alone.
