The Inclusive Ai Lab

AI upskilling for

non-codong professionals

The Inclusive AI Lab brings artificial intelligence (AI) literacy to the masses, primarily professionals and practitioners who are not technical, non-coders, and have no data or computer science training. All trainings are designed with this in mind and focus on upskilling in AI from a concepts perspective, not math.

 

Dr. Emily Springer, AI Ethics expert

 

Run by award-winning trainer, Dr. Emily Springer, this training enables you to access broad generalist AI content that still takes you deep inside the core issues, conundrums, and the challenges of inclusive, responsible AI. All training assumes a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lens and takes seriously the role AI can, cannot, or should not play in efforts for social justice.

 

The Inclusive AI Lab is the training division of TechnoSocio Advisory, an independent, woman-run consultancy firm focused on inclusive AI for social impact. If you're interested in consulting services, such as in AI advising (end user research, testing protocols, etc), AI policy and strategy creation, risk mitigation planning, orcareer mentoring, please see TechnoSocio Advisory.
