This critical thinking with AI course equips CEO’s, business managers and leaders with essential critical thinking skills for the AI era. Learn to evaluate outputs from large language models and statistical AI systems, ask the right questions, and apply these tools effectively to real-world challenges.
As AI transforms business decision-making, leaders need more than access to technology. AI can generate answers instantly, but knowing which answers to trust, how to refine them, and when to push back requires human judgment. They need the judgment to use it wisely. This course help to develop that judgment.

  • Elite forecasting techniques from DARPA's superforecaster research for evaluating AI accuracy
  • Skills to make better decisions when working with LLMs and other AI approaches
  • Confidence to lead in an AI-augmented business environment

Delivery Approach

  • Interactive (non-web based) with hands-on exercises using real AI outputs including Evaluation Review & Integration
  • Practical focus - skills participants can apply immediately
  • Small group format (max 14) for personalised attention
  • Research-based methodology with tournament scoring and calibration exercises

What Participants Leave With

  • Structured framework for evaluating any AI output
  • Calibration tools to improve decision accuracy

What Our Clients Say

"For a senior technical person, the best of this course is setting a structured and methodical approach for evaluation techniques we already use. It would be also very beneficial to senior managers (100+ reports). There is a huge hype on Gen AI at the moment, and this course will help them see the potential, current limitations and pitfalls of this technology".

 

Critical Thinking with AI for tech professionals

In-person course October '25

 


“It was very positive. This course was 4 days but covered a semester worth of work if it was done in college. The labs were relevant and delegates were provided the lab/coursebook for further study and practice after the course finished. GuruTeam's course was excellent and provides a deeper understanding of the architecture and how it all works. The hands-on aspect was very helpful as it helped solidify the concepts as I went along."

“The experience was complete for me. I like how the training was sequenced - the slides organization, the examples and explanations and then the exercises. Time for exercises and support by the Instructor was great plus answering the questions and going out for answers and coming back with examples as brilliant. I loved how much I refreshed and how I learned and got inspired to improve stuff at work.”
