Artificial Intelligence is more than a tool for automation—it can be a powerful collaborator in the thinking process itself. This hands-on, interdisciplinary course moves far beyond basic prompting to explore how we can engage Large Language Models (LLMs) as genuine thinking partners.
You will learn a structured framework for dialogue that treats AI not as an oracle, but as a proactive sounding board, a devil's advocate, and a creative instigator. We will cover core techniques such as Socratic questioning, iterative refinement, perspective-switching, and intellectual scaffolding. Through practical exercises and real-world projects, you'll apply these methods to areas like brainstorming research questions, deconstructing complex problems, refining written arguments, and exploring ethical dilemmas.
