Critical Thinking in an Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence

  • - Critical thinking is much more than narrow logical thinking: it's deeply human.
  • - Generative artificial intelligence is where thinking starts, not where it ends.
  • - Human-to-human discussion, with gentle provocations and challenges, is everything.

Session Description

In this talk we will unpack what critical thinking is, widening the definition to describe a whole state of mind and approach; challenges to critical thinking will then be evoked (social media, bandwagoning and the steep rise of technology. Having explored the implications of generative artificial intelligence on schooling, assessment and learning, the talk will end with some key takeaways.
