This course equips CPAs with a practical guide to think with AI, not blindly trust it. Learn how AI generates responses to your prompts in order to confidently know when - and when not - to use it, to spot your own hidden biases, and to transform machine outputs into strategic insights.

Artificial intelligence is transforming work, yet many professionals use it without understanding how it actually functions, treating it like a “thinking” partner rather than what it truly is: a powerful but imperfect tool that cannot replicate human judgment.

Through a dynamic, activity-focused session, you’ll discover how to:

• Demystify AI – uncover how it works to more confidently engage with it
• Apply criteria to critically evaluate whether or not to use AI
• Identify AI’s vulnerabilities, weaknesses and strengths
• Dismantle your own cognitive biases when using AI
• Use advanced techniques for prompting AI and for pressure-testing its outputs

Leave equipped to transform AI from a shortcut into a sparring partner that sharpens your thinking and raises the cognitive bar for you and your organization.

Note: Registration for this seminar closes October 13, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. (EDT).

• Understand the underlying technology powering Generative AI to clarify what - and what not - to use it for.
• Identify the key vulnerabilities of Generative AI, including its lack of true judgment and understanding.
• Recognize and mitigate the influence of critical cognitive biases in your own AI-assisted work.
• Apply criteria to critically evaluate, question, and refine AI-generated outputs instead of passively accepting them.
• Use advanced "human-in-the-loop" techniques to create better prompts and to effectively scrutinize AI results.
