PSYCHOLOGist-LED LEARNING
Workshop: Make better decisions with AI
AI can make work faster, but it can also influence how people interpret evidence, assess risk and make decisions. Better Decisions with AI is a practical session exploring how bias, over-reliance and overly agreeable AI outputs can distort human judgement... and what people can do about it.
90-minute virtual briefing or three-hour interactive workshop · Virtual or in person · From £1,250 + VAT
AI does not simply provide information. It shapes the decisions made around it.
When people use AI to support work, they aren't just using a tool; they are entering a psychological relationship. Better Decisions with AI addresses the critical human factors that determine whether AI adoption strengthens or weakens organisational judgement.
Automation bias
People may accept an AI recommendation even when other evidence suggests it is wrong.
Anchoring
An initial AI response can shape subsequent thinking, estimates and alternatives.
Over-reliance
Frequent dependence on AI can reduce independent checking, effort and critical scrutiny.
Agreeable outputs
AI may validate the user’s assumptions rather than provide the challenge needed for a better decision.
From awareness to better decision practice: What the session covers

Frequently asked questions
Who is the session for?
The session is designed for leaders, managers and professional teams who are already using AI or are planning to integrate it into their decision-making workflows. It is particularly relevant for those in roles where judgement, risk assessment and accountability are critical.
Can the session be delivered for different seniority levels?
Yes. We tailor the content and examples to the specific challenges faced by different groups, whether that’s leaders considering organisational accountability or professional teams using AI for daily analytical work.
Do participants need technical AI knowledge?
No technical expertise is required. The session focuses on the human factors—how we think, decide and act when using AI—rather than how to build or code the technology itself.
Is the workshop delivered in person or virtually?
Both formats are available. The briefing is typically delivered as a 90-minute virtual session, while the full interactive workshop can be delivered either in person or through a structured virtual learning environment.
How much does the session cost?
The 90-minute virtual briefing starts from £1,250 + VAT. The price for a full-length, tailored workshop is confirmed following a brief conversation to understand your specific needs, audience size and format.
