Develop your critical thinking, analyze AI, and make informed decisions with this online training course.

AI can move fast. Very fast. But it doesn’t understand your realities, your responsibilities, or the consequences of its answers. It produces. You decide.

This training isn’t about “doing better than AI” or becoming a technical expert. Instead, it helps you adopt a clear stance: acting as an AI supervisor—like when you’re guiding an intern. You’ll learn how to question its answers, spot its biases, and decide when to use them, adapt them… or reject them.

By exploring the various sections of this training, you will be able to:

  • Take a critical approach to AI-generated responses
  • Craft effective, nuanced prompts to obtain more reliable answers
  • Apply your professional judgment to decide when to use, adapt, or reject AI-generated suggestions

Contents Overview

Observing yourself before trying to “use AI properly”

  • Take a starting snapshot: notice your natural reflexes when using AI (especially when time is tight or the answer sounds convincing)
  • Identify situations where you tend to rush (pressure, complexity, reassuring answers, confirmation of your own ideas)
  • Understand AI’s limits so you can better supervise it
  • Go back to basics: AI doesn’t know your context, doesn’t deal with the consequences, and never signs the document
  • Apply four simple supervision reflexes, tailored to common mistakes

Look at an AI response beyond the (good) first impression

  • Understand why a response can be clear and well-written… yet still too general, superficial, or lacking context
  • Spot the biases that can throw off your evaluation and build in a deliberate pause before judging
  • Use 6 quality criteria to assess a response
  • Choose the criteria based on the context

Send the right requests to AI (not on autopilot)

  • Understand why, “without clear instructions,” AI tends to generalize, simplify, and fill in the gaps
  • Structure your prompts using the ECRIS method
  • Strengthen your critical intent: use AI to test an idea, explore limits, compare perspectives—rather than looking for a single “right answer”
  • Add simple strategies (clarity constraints, target audience, comparison, challenging assumptions)

Take back control: I supervise AI—not the other way around

  • Ask yourself the key question before using AI: is it really necessary in this situation?
  • Be clear about what you delegate (carefully) and what you don’t:
  • Remember this rule: the more sensitive, complex, and human-impacting a task is, the more your judgment is essential

Anchor a supervision commitment

  • Put your personal guidelines into words: “Starting today… I commit to…”
