ATDps: October 2026 Virtual Member Event
Thinking with AI Hosted by NextArrow for ATD Puget Sound
Researchers warn that passive AI use quietly weakens the critical and creative thinking that makes us most human. The costs are showing up at work: unchecked errors, generic ideas, and polished AI output that someone downstream has to redo. Yet as Marcus Aurelius wrote 2,000 years ago, "What stands in the way becomes the way": the same technology that can erode our thinking can be used to sharpen it.
In this workshop, we'll pair ancient thinkers with modern researchers, from Sun Tzu to Daniel Kahneman, to build the three habits of deliberate AI users: Frame (think before AI thinks), Challenge (think with AI), and Reflect (think after AI thinks), each practiced live on real work challenges. Participants will leave with better results from every AI interaction, and a new mental operating system that transforms AI from an answer machine into a thinking partner.
