Who this is for
For managers, directors, and senior individual contributors who already use AI in their decision workflow and want a disciplined approach to the cognitive risks.
How this course works
- 8 audio-narrated slide chapters · ~36 min of focused content
- Narrated by Emma (Azure neural voice)
- Capstone with interactive Markdown builder you take to your team
- Trust trip-wires on every play — what not to cross
- Free verifiable certificate on completion
What you'll walk out with
Specific outcomes from this course — no fluff.
- AI is a decision input, not the decision — three modes (AI-as-input, AI-assisted, AI-as-decider) and the drift toward delegation that grows with better models
- The cognitive offloading risk grounded in Kahneman's System 1 / System 2 — why better models suppress critique and the two countermeasures that keep reasoning engaged
- Three override signals (context, recency, regional) and the deference trap that hides overrides — with the override-documentation discipline
- The 80/20 verification rule with three filters (reversibility, stakes, context) and three categories that need 100% verification
- Team-level decision norms that survive tool churn — categorisation, pre-commitment, override docs — with a 3-stage onboarding pattern
- Scenario planning with AI without the false-confidence trap — the 4-step discipline that mixes AI breadth with your judgement
- Three drift types (deference, verification, model) and the quarterly decision audit that catches them — with model-drift canonical-prompts check
- A one-page AI decision charter + 4 trust trip-wires + interactive charter builder for the team

AI as decision input vs decision maker
3 decision modes · 3 decisions never delegated · 2 signals of drift into AI-as-decider.
The cognitive offloading risk
Kahneman System 1/2 framing · why better models suppress critique · 2 countermeasures from decision-science research.
When to override AI confidently
3 override signals (context · recency · regional) · the deference trap · the override discipline.
The 80/20 verification rule
What you verify · 3 filters (reversibility · stakes · context) · 3 cases that need 100% verification.
Team-level decision norms
The drift problem · 3 norms that survive tool churn (categorisation · pre-commitment · override docs) · onboarding pattern.
Scenario planning with AI
Where AI helps (breadth · variation · adversarial) · false-confidence trap · 4-step scenario discipline.
Decision drift and audit cadence
3 drift types (deference · verification · model) · quarterly decision audit · catching model drift with canonical prompts.
Capstone — AI decision charter
4-section one-page charter · 4 trust trip-wires · interactive charter builder.
