At a time when AI is often designed to inform, predict, or persuade, TITAN takes a radically different path: AI that teaches us to think. Hosted on 10 November 2025, the webinar AI for Critical Thinking: The Tech, Trials & Takeaways” brought together experts from TITAN to explore how TITAN’s architecture, fine-tuning, and pilot results show that AI can become a catalyst for reflection, not just a source of answers.
Moderated by Massimo Magaldi (Engineering SpA), the session opened with the idea that disinformation isn’t only a data problem, it’s a thinking problem. Rather than detecting or labelling falsehoods, TITAN engages users in structured questioning, inspired by the Socratic method.
Speakers Georgios Petasis (NCSR-Demokritos), Spyros Papafragos (ATC), and Marcin Wozniak (Swarmcheck) walked participants through the system’s core components, including LLMs, dialogue logic. Discussion highlighted TITAN’s mission: empowering users to recognise disinformation cues by cultivating their own critical faculties. As Marcin Wozniak noted, “We don’t just want users to trust TITAN, we want them to trust themselves more after using it.”
Key takeaways included:
AI can prompt inquiry, not just deliver output.
Fine-tuned LLMs can be trained to foster metacognition, helping people think about their thinking.
Evaluation frameworks must move beyond accuracy toward engagement, understanding, and reasoning.
Cross-disciplinary collaboration between technologists, psychologists, and educators is essential to design systems that strengthen human agency.

This one-hour deep dive is essential viewing for AI developers, researchers, and policymakers interested in the intersection of LLMs, ethics, and digital literacy, and for anyone who believes the future of AI isn’t just about intelligence, but wisdom.
