Thinking Through AI

Thinking Through AI: helping anyone become a well-rounded, strategic A.I. thinker. A new kind of hyper-personalized A.I. learning offering for continuous mastery, shaped by a board of globally leading A.I. experts, including current and former leaders from Stanford, IBM, Linkedin, EY, BCG, The White House, BBC and more. ========================================= [1] KEEP UP BETTER, PERSONALIZED A feed that is monitoring over 500 of the world’s top A.I. companies, labs, thought leaders, founders, and scientists, across all platforms and media types, including podcasts, Youtube channels, and subreddits, and distilling it into a single, organized feed featuring commentary and highlights from leaders, and including (with Pro) summarized insights that are tailored to your specific role, your industry, and the priorities of your industry (or those you aspire to). All while automatically giving you learning credits for every single piece of content you consume, and every helpful comment you leave, turning it all into an A.I. expertise profile that is ready for Linkedin, resumes, and more, to get ahead in your career. [2] GAIN AN AI CREDENTIALS ADVANTAGE Including a core upskilling course bundle that allows anyone to go from zero to well-rounded A.I. expert, in a more robust way than any other solution: allowing anyone to learn directly through the all-time most referenced perspectives by the leaders of A.I. themselves, and going further with material that teaches you how to think, not just what tools to use. All while producing shareable, Linkedin-ready certificates and transcripts that are more impressive and verifiable than most college credentials. Paired with an industry monitoring feed that makes it personal: [3] GOING DEEPER Now that you have proper foundations: a broader, rapidly growing library of learning credentials for every A.I. tool and use case imaginable, using the world’s most appreciated sources, based on your priorities and interests, and customizable to your company. ========================================= Why TTAI (Thinking Through AI)? Keeping up with A.I. on a daily basis has some or all of the following challenges: X They are one-size-fits-all. Not personalized to your needs or priorities. X Often in the form of newsletters, unfiltered feeds, or ad-hoc community threads. Not easy to filter through. X You don't get anything for your time. There's no evidence of your commitment and mastery. And all A.I. upskilling offerings have some or all of these major issues: X They are narrow: focused primarily on tool use — and narrowly so — instead of emphasis on how to think. X Highly biased or technical: training from Google, OpenAI, AWS, etc. You get what you pay for. X Short-lived: once the training is done, you quickly fall behind again (especially without fundamentals). X One-size-fits-all: not dynamically taking into account your unique job, industry, or company. X Weak evidence: certificates generated don’t prove the credibility and mastery transparently. Finally, and most importantly: A.I. is too important, too world-changing, for it to be so hard to efficiently keep up and truly understand the big picture. Our future depends on it. Thinking Through AI was created by a team of leading humane technologists to address all of the above.
