Speak AI like you mean it

Let me guess where you are right now.

You're in meetings where people throw around terms like "foundation models," "RAG pipelines," or "responsible AI" — and everyone else seems to nod like it makes perfect sense. You read the executive briefings on AI strategy and understand the business goal, but the middle part, the actual AI part, feels like it's written in a foreign language. And you're starting to wonder whether not knowing this stuff is going to quietly hold you back.

I've worked at the intersection of business leadership and technical teams for years, and I can tell you: this feeling is nearly universal among managers right now. It's not a knowledge gap that reflects badly on you. It reflects the pace of change. AI literacy has become a management skill almost overnight, and nobody handed most managers a curriculum.

That's exactly why I built this school — and why I built it the way I did. Not as a technical primer for aspiring data scientists, but as a practical vocabulary toolkit for working managers. Everything here is grounded in the situations you actually face: a vendor pitching an AI tool that sounds impressive but raises questions you can't quite articulate. A direct report presenting a recommendation from a model you've never heard of. A board-level conversation about AI risk where you need to hold your own. The curriculum walks you through the concepts that matter — models, training data, generative AI, hallucinations, explainability, pricing structures — and connects every single one to real decisions in real organizations.

Here's what I want you to know: you don't need to become an AI expert. You need to become the manager who understands enough to lead. To ask the right questions. To spot when a vendor is overselling and when a risk is being undersold. To translate between your technical team and your senior leadership without losing the thread in either direction. That's a learnable skill — and it's exactly what this school teaches.

By the time you finish, you'll have a working vocabulary you can use immediately, a personal AI glossary you've built yourself and can keep updating, and a confidence in AI conversations that you probably don't feel right now. That's the whole goal. Come in curious, leave capable. I'll be with you the whole way.
