Critical Thinking for AI in the Workplace | Dr. Aaron Barth
How can critical thinking shape our AI use in the workplace? Large Language Models (LLMs) function as sophisticated “auto-complete” engines that predict the next most likely word based on statistical patterns rather than reasoning, understanding truth, or possessing consciousness. While there are many good uses for LLMs in daily life, their application in high-stakes and high-judgement tasks can have professional consequences. When we over-rely on LLMs at work, we risk eroding core intellectual skills, flattening diverse perspectives, and creating workplace inequalities. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Dr. Aaron Barth, founder and president of Dialectic. They demystify the mechanics under the hood of Large Language Models (LLMs), discuss the psychological traps of ascribing intelligence to software, and share practical frameworks for using AI responsibly without sacrificing equity or human judgment in the workplace.
