One of the most common criticisms of generative AI concerns its potential negative impact on students’ critical thinking skills. However, this perspective is not shared by everyone. Some educators have found that, when used thoughtfully, AI can actually enhance opportunities for critical thinking rather than diminish them. Like any tool, its impact depends on how it is applied — it can either foster meaningful learning experiences or undermine them.

This webinar will present a range of practical approaches to using generative AI in ways that support the development of critical thinking and reflection skills — both for educators and for their students. Participants are encouraged to attend with an open mind and a willingness to engage critically.
