Make sense of AI

With my focus on applied generative AI, I help leaders, educators and founders understand the technology without the hype, then use it to make better decisions, improve learning and build practical tools.

I have delivered keynotes and training on applied generative AI across Canada. Bring me in for a participatory workshop, strategic advice, or a custom AI project shaped around the decision in front of you.

From the classroom

Learning that carries into the work

Participants describe how the course changed their understanding of AI and gave them practical ways to use it.

“I enrolled in “Learning and Building with Generative AI” to explore how this technology could complement my work... and I left with a co-intelligence partner. Mohammad’s approach helps demystify the technology while encouraging curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.”

“Thank you so much for such an engaging, fascinating and terrifying class! This class completely changed my perspective on AI... I think this is one of the single most impactful “level-ups” we could have undergone as a team.”
