Course Description

Critical Thinking 10X in the AI Age: The Complete Guide

We all use it. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude: they write, they summarize, they strategize. But here’s the brutal truth: AI LIES!

It hallucinates. It carries bias.

And if you just copy-paste its answers without questioning, you're not a professional. You're a risk factor!

The biggest skill gap in 2026 and onward isn't using AI; it's MASTERING the thinking that comes after the prompt. This course is your solution.


Hi, I’m Silviu Marisk. For over 15 years, I’ve been teaching people the strategic frameworks that turn raw data into brilliant decisions. Now, I’m excited to bring you the course that defines the new expert: Critical Thinking 10X in the AI Age.


Look, using AI is easy. But making sure the output is accurate , ethical , and actionable is where the real money is made. With an M.B.A. from Sciences Po Paris, I’ve trained over 300,000 learners worldwide, and I focus on one thing: giving you practical tools to become the critical co-pilot that keeps the AI engine running safely and successfully.


What will you learn? This course is a strategic toolkit for the AI age. You will stop accepting and start demanding excellence from your AI assistant.

I give this course 3 stars because the topic and knowledge are valuable, but the course materials are not sufficient. Slides or a PDF are not provided, and during the lessons the instructor often switches away from slides too quickly, making it hard to read and review the content. I also asked about the slides, and although the instructor said they would be uploaded, they still have not been provided after around two weeks. With proper slides or a PDF, this course could be much more useful.

By SERGIO CEDDIA on 5/1/2026

well explained but now (from section 8) the transcripts are not available. Why? Please could you re-attach this useful feature? thank you

By carlie friesen on 1/19/2026

it is to appreciate how well the teacher emphasized questioning AI, double-checking ideas, thinking critically rather than relying on quick answers. A lot of food for thought.

By Ernestina Witting on 1/18/2026

the content is engaging, the examples are relevant, and I walked away feeling more confident spotting bias, weak arguments, and lazy thinking (both human and AI-generated). if you’re curious about AI but still want to keep your brain fully switched on, this course is absolutely worth it.

By Louisa Rodriguez on 1/17/2026

Yes, after first lessons I notived how practical, engaging, and surprisingly empowering this course is. It really rethinking the usage of AI as a tool while keeping my own thinking sharp.

By Jorge Donnelly on 1/16/2026

The hands-on exercises had me questioning answers, spotting gaps in logic, and refining prompts until the responses actually held up. It felt more like a mindset upgrade.

By Parker McLaughlin on 1/16/2026

I found myself applying the lessons outside of class - double-checking sources, asking better follow-up questions, and not blindly trusting the first answer that looks polished and convincing.

By Austin Lockman on 1/16/2026

I understood how to actively challenge AI, poke holes in its logic, test assumptions, and improve responses step by step. It honestly felt like giving my brain a workout while AI stood there waiting for better instructions.

By Betsy Runolfsson on 1/16/2026

What I loved right away was how the instructor talks to students like a real human, not a robot explaining another robot. He breaks down how AI actually works, why it can be wrong even when it sounds right, and how easy it is to fall into “auto-accept” mode. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

By Dana Marvin on 1/15/2026

Instead of treating AI as a shortcut, it taught how to treat it like a thinking partner. The instructor breaks down how AI generates information, where it can go wrong, and how to ask better questions.
