The AI Thinking Model

Reclaiming Critical Thinking in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Most people use AI in ways that weaken their thinking. This book reverses that. Students who use unconfigured AI perform worse than students who don't use AI at all. Professionals who trust AI the most verify its work the least. Backed by research from Harvard, Wharton, Boston Consulting Group, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the AI Thinking Model proves the variable is how you configure and engage with the technology.

The AI Thinking Model book by Liz B. Baker — Available now on Amazon

Configure. Think. Transform.

The AI Thinking Model is a framework for using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot to coach you toward five critical capacities: critical thinking, wisdom, innovation, strategy, and ethics. Instead of speeding up your output, configured AI challenges your reasoning, surfaces your blind spots, and develops you as a thinker.

The free wizard builds your configuration in 15 minutes. The book teaches you why it works, how to think with your configured AI, and what happens when you stop treating AI as a shortcut and start treating it as a formation practice.

What's Inside

A complete framework for building AI thinking partners that strengthen your reasoning in every conversation. Strategic configurations for the audiences that need them most. Strategies for protecting your privacy, verifying AI outputs, and maintaining sovereignty over your own thinking. Free access to the AI Thinking Model Configuration Wizard.

Who This Is For

Leaders who refuse to outsource judgment. Parents raising kids in an AI-saturated world. Educators teaching students who think AI can replace thinking. Professionals who know AI should be making them better thinkers. Students navigating AI in education without guidance. Caregivers making impossible decisions at 2 AM with no one to call. Faith leaders stewarding their congregations through technological change. Career changers reinventing themselves. Neurodivergent thinkers whose brains finally have a tool built for how they work. Public servants who understand that democracy requires thinking people. Anyone who wants to use AI without surrendering their own mind to it.

Every chapter stands on its own. Every chapter could be its own keynote.

The most important decision you will make in the AI age is not which AI to use. It is what kind of thinker you become while using it.
