Think smarter, act faster: critical thinking in the age of AI
At the Learning Technologies Autumn Forum, online this October, Martin Couzins equips L&D leaders with tools to challenge assumptions, cut through AI hype, and make smarter, faster decisions under pressure.
When every trend sounds urgent and every tool promises transformation, how do you decide what’s worth your time?
L&D leaders are under pressure to move fast, but rushing without reflection wastes effort and leads to bad decisions.
This session shows how to pause, question, and cut through the noise, especially when AI hype is involved.
This session will explore:
- A simple traffic-light model to guide decisions
- How to spot hidden assumptions and biases
- Framing claims before acting on them
- Fast experimentation and capturing what works
- How to make AI your intellectual partner
"Think smarter, act faster: critical thinking in the age of AI" takes place at the LTAF 2025 online event on Thursday, October 23, 2025 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
The Learning Technologies Autumn Forum takes place online on 14, 16, 21 and 23 October. The conference programme is available from the Learning Technologies Autumn Forum website.
