Human vs AI Decision-Making
[TGS-2026065954] Part 1 of the Psychology of AI series. Strengthen your judgement when evaluating AI-generated outputs and working alongside AI systems.
About Course
AI tools are increasingly part of everyday work, giving professionals more opportunities to draw on AI-generated recommendations when making decisions. This creates a growing need for people to sharpen how they interpret those outputs and apply their own judgement alongside them.
This course is the first in a six-part Psychology of AI series, and can be taken independently of the other five.
It examines how humans and AI systems approach decisions differently, covering human cognition, intuition, heuristics, bias, memory, cognitive offloading and productive struggle, and what these mean for judgement, learning and accountability in AI-assisted work.
Learners work through practical exercises using the Capabara AI Assistant, practising techniques such as commit-then-consult, reflective decision-making, reasoning trace and verification by stakes to strengthen judgement and use AI as a thinking partner rather than a substitute for thinking.
Delivery is through in-person classroom sessions at SIT Punggol Campus, combining facilitated discussion with hands-on exercises using the Capabara AI Assistant.
This course is developed in partnership with Straits Interactive, a leading edtech company committed to enabling organisations to thrive in a business landscape defined by Generative AI.
