PwC is investing $100 million in teaching critical thinking, after its and other consultancies' client reports featured hallucinated facts and citations, and clients questioned fees as models get better at finding and aggregating data. The program uses PwC's proprietary Critical Thinking & Judgment framework, combining diagnostics, masterclasses, personalized simulations, and on-the-job tools. The poster frames it as: the 2010s said 'learn to code', 2026+ says 'learn to think' — noting Harvard's hottest class is now a brutally difficult intro to humanities teaching deep reading and critique.
