"Co-thinking with AI"
What if artificial intelligence wasn't here to replace you, but to think with you?
That's the central idea behind "Co-thinking with AI," a mini-series from AI Swiss and Alp ICT.
In five episodes, this series offers practical insights to help Swiss SMEs integrate generative AI into their daily operations, drawing on the innovative concept of human-AI co-thinking.
"IA qu'à!"
Co-thinking with artificial intelligence is the core methodology of AI Swiss, which advocates for integrating this approach into school curricula.
But in practice, what services can AI really provide in our daily lives?
In this RTS series, François Jeannet from "On en parle" meets with AI Swiss members to explore several concrete applications of artificial intelligence.
"All Things Emergent"
The blog of Charles-Edouard Bardyn
A space where complex ideas meet clear thinking. Here, Charles-Edouard Bardyn explores the intersections of AI, science, and society with the mix of precision and curiosity that defines his approach.
Expect reflections that challenge conventional narratives, sharp analyses of emerging research, and probing questions on how intelligence, human or artificial, can evolve responsibly.

FAQs
I’m a teacher. How can I introduce AI to my students responsibly?
Teach students that AI models are powerful but probabilistic systems that require human intelligence to guide them effectively. Our education framework develops the fundamental literacy of our time: how to provide clear context, critically evaluate AI outputs, and maintain active engagement throughout the dialogue. Students learn to shape AI behavior through structured communication while staying alert to errors, transforming them into confident orchestrators who amplify their own intelligence.
Do I need to know programming to use AI?
No. The essential skill is guiding AI through clear communication and structured thinking. Our co-thinking framework teaches you to provide context, define workflows, and validate outputs through dialogue. You shape AI behavior by organizing information intelligently and lending your judgment at every step. This is accessible to everyone because it builds on fundamentally human skills: clear communication and critical thinking.
How can small businesses use AI without big budgets?
The breakthrough isn't expensive tools, but a systematic approach to knowledge work. Our co-thinking method teaches your team to progressively refine information with AI during daily operations. Meeting transcripts become structured notes, notes inform project plans, plans guide execution. Each step compresses knowledge intelligently, building a living organizational memory that AI can effectively leverage. No data scientists required, just smarter collaborative habits.
Will AI take away my job?
Not necessarily. AI will automate certain tasks, but it will also transform your role into what AI fundamentally cannot do: provide real-world context, exercise human judgment, and verify outputs against reality. AI systems lack embodied experience and cannot reliably self-verify. Our co-thinking framework trains you to be the essential human in the loop who guides the collaboration, catches errors, and ensures outputs serve actual needs. This makes your expertise more valuable, not less.
Is AI safe? What about data privacy and bias?
AI models today cannot reliably verify themselves. They hallucinate, inherit biases from training data, and lack grounding in physical reality. Our co-thinking method addresses this by keeping you actively engaged to catch errors and guide the AI with your judgment. For data privacy, we strongly recommend local AI workspaces where files remain on your device and you control exactly what AI model you use and what it can access.
