As AI rapidly transforms how we learn and work, it is increasingly clear that technology alone isn’t enough. To truly harness the power of AI, we, our children and our students will need well-developed cognitive skills that allow us to prompt AI tools, to evaluate its output, and to make wise decisions. Without these core skills, especially our core executive functions of working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, we risk displacement and the fear of being replaced or over-relying on it, missing the human judgment, creativity, and empathy that machines can’t replicate.
In this webinar, we will explore the cognitive skills that serve as the “center of gravity” in an AI-driven future. We’ll examine how executive functions fuel higher-order skills like problem-solving, creativity, communication, critical thinking, and innovation — and why these skills will matter even more as AI becomes embedded in every workplace. Join us to discover how strengthening cognitive skills today prepares students, educators, and professionals not just to keep pace with AI, but to lead with distinctly human aspirations, hopes, and values.
Note: In the webinar we describe the process of creating a summary of the webinar using ChatGPT. When we went to do it, we found that ChatGPT required a transcript, rather than working directly from the audio file. We created a transcript using Microsoft Word (click on the Dictate icon and choose Transcribe). We edited the summary developed by ChatGPT for accuracy. You can download the summary: HERE
