Testimonials

I loved that the information moved quickly and efficiently with animation to illustrate and help me make connections. I finally feel like I have a good handle on the relationships between the different "types" of AI that people talk about, and I can conceptualize the technical powers and limitations in each. Also, thank you so much for the slide deck! I was worried about how much I would forget, since it was so much information in a short time. Bravo!

- Management Consultant

A great primer education! I hear a lot of the terms and acronyms and they were defined well. Also explanation on how AI actually computes was excellent! All of my confusions were addressed and I feel I can speak intelligently to it and explain to others so much better.

- Consultant

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a primer?

Think of a primer as your quick-start guide to understanding the landscape of an industry (such as Investment Banking, Renewable Energy, Retail, etc.).
