You're Not Behind. You're Discerning. AI Literacy for Thoughtful Professionals.
Build real AI literacy, a clear stance on AI and personal framework so you can decide how to engage with it in a way that protects your expertise, your standards, and your way of thinking.
Course Overview
Everyone around you seems to have a take on AI: adopt it fast, fear it deeply, or act like it isn't happening.
This course is for the people who haven't bought any of those options. You're thoughtful, you're experienced in your field, and you're not interested in tools that strip the human out of work you spent years learning to do well. What you want is clarity: on what AI actually is, what it can and genuinely can’t do, and where you stand on it.
Over four sessions, we move together from noise to solid understanding. You'll build real AI literacy rooted in your own values and your own work, without giving up the judgment, care, and human essence that makes what you do matter.
By the end, you won't just "know more" about AI. You'll know exactly where you stand on it, when to use it, when to question it, what you choose to keep fully human and why that matters too.
*No technical background required
Who Is This Course For?
This course was designed for three kinds of people:
- The seasoned practitioner who has spent years building expertise in a deeply human field and is watching AI move in without anyone asking their permission or their opinion. They don't want to be left behind, but they're not willing to adopt tools uncritically just because everyone else is moving fast.
- The thoughtful leader inside a nonprofit, NGO, or social-impact organization who is being asked to make decisions about AI - for their team, their programs, their clients - without support or frameworks that reflect their values. They need solid literacy, not hype, and not a vendor pitch.
- The curious adopter who knows they're not against AI in principle, but hasn't found an entry point that respects both their intelligence and their skepticism. They've been waiting for a conversation that starts from the human, not the machine.
What You'll Learn
- Real AI literacy. A clear, jargon-free understanding of what AI is, how it works, where it comes from, and where it actually falls short. Not a technical degree. Enough to stop nodding along and start asking the right questions.
- A decision framework you'll actually use. A way of evaluating any AI tool, claim, or adoption question through what matters most in your work. Built during the course. Usable for weeks after.
- Your AI Stance. A written, personal position that reflects your values, your field, and your intentional choices about where you will and won't bring AI into your practice. Something you get to define and write, not something handed to you.
- A cohort that sharpens your thinking. Five weeks alongside practitioners from different fields asking the same hard questions. That cross-pollination is often what people remember most.

Capstone: Your Personal AI Operating System, that you build throughout the course, piece by piece:
- Your Stance Statement is a one-page articulation of where you actually stand: what you understand AI to be, what you value that it can't replicate, and the principles that will guide your decisions about it. Written in your voice, for your context.
- Your Decision Filter is five to eight questions you run any AI tool or adoption decision through before saying yes or no. You build it from your own values and test it against real situations from your work during the course.
- Your Custom AI Tool is a simple, practical agent or workflow - built with guidance in the final session five - that does one specific thing you've decided is worth automating in your work. This part is opt-in. If you go through this course and decide AI has no place in your practice right now, that's a legitimate outcome. But if you want to leave with something you built yourself, you will.
