IEAC Webinar on Critical Thinking in the AI Age

Central Global University (CGU) is pleased to share an exciting learning opportunity from the International Education Accreditation Council (IEAC), an internationally recognized organization committed to promoting excellence in education.

As an IEAC-accredited institution, CGU encourages its students, faculty members, researchers, academic professionals, and lifelong learners to participate in the upcoming IEAC Webinar, Thinking for Life: Why Critical Thinking Is the Most Urgent Skill of the AI Age.

The webinar will explore why critical thinking has become one of the most valuable skills in an era where artificial intelligence is transforming education, workplaces, and decision-making across the globe.

Artificial Intelligence is changing how people access information, solve problems, and make decisions. While AI provides powerful tools, the ability to think independently, analyse evidence, evaluate information critically, and make ethical decisions remains uniquely human.

This IEAC Webinar will examine why critical thinking is essential for educators, students, and professionals in an AI-powered world. Participants will gain practical insights into developing analytical thinking skills and using AI responsibly while maintaining independent judgment.

The session is designed to help attendees better understand the role of critical thinking in modern education and how institutions can prepare learners for future challenges.

The webinar will be presented by Jennie Williams, Founder and Director of CT4L Institute, Senior Human Rights Lawyer, GEDSI Consultant Teacher/Trainer, and Doctoral Researcher at the University of Leeds.

The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Maurice Dimmock, Chairman of the International Education Accreditation Council (IEAC).

Together, they will share valuable perspectives on developing critical thinking skills that empower learners to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence.

During this IEAC Webinar, attendees will gain insights into:

• Why critical thinking is becoming an essential skill in the AI era.
• How AI is influencing education, learning, and professional practice.
• Techniques for evaluating information and identifying misinformation.
• Strategies for encouraging independent thinking and responsible decision-making.
• The role of educational institutions in preparing future-ready graduates.
• Practical approaches to integrating critical thinking into teaching and learning.
