Orientation week
Workshop 1
Introduction to AI — Its positive and negative impacts and how to use it responsibly
A broad introduction to AI: what it is, where it shows up, and the ethics and governance questions it raises. A welcoming entry point for anyone thinking about AI in their work.
Speaker: Carolina Rossini
Orientation
Program and platform overview. Introduction to the team and program orientation. Same content offered twice — drop into either session.
Led by Tom Bernardin
Workshop 2
AI Under the Hood Part 1: How does it do that?
How AI tools actually work — and why that matters. The plumbing is often obfuscated, making AI seem more intelligent and autonomous than it is. With a clearer view of what's happening under the hood, you can use AI more effectively and diagnose what's gone wrong when it doesn't perform as hoped. We'll also cover the AI tools available on the program platform and where the technology is heading sooner than most expect.
Speaker: Tom Bernardin
Mentoring Drop-In
Cohort Leader Roundtable
Co-design session for the human-centered design workshop
Our first cohort leader roundtable focuses on preparing for the in-person design sprint. We'll learn how each cohort leader is thinking about their program goals around AI projects, and co-design the day with you so participants get the most out of the experience.
Led by Emily Nutwell and Tom Bernardin

Workshop 3
AI Under the Hood Part 2: How does it know that?
How AI models actually work — and why that matters. This workshop covers the AI "brain": how it's made, curated, and deployed by AI companies. The AI brain is the new electricity that powers AI tools and processes. We'll explore why AI behaves certain ways — including sycophancy, hallucinations, and common misunderstandings. Participants leave with a greater understanding of AI's core attributes and how they affect our work and interactions with AI in practical, human-scale terms.
Speaker: Tom Bernardin
Mentoring Drop-In
Cohort Leader Roundtable
Cohort leader check-in
An open check-in with cohort leaders. We'll hear how the program experience is going for you and your participants so far — what's working, what isn't — and how we can improve it going forward.
Led by Emily Nutwell and Tom Bernardin
Mentoring Drop-In
Workshop 4
Agentic AI — Building AI agents for business processes
The basics of AI agents and AI automations — agentic concepts, automation patterns, and practical examples. A foundation for thinking about where agents and automated processes might fit into your work.
Speaker: Tom Bernardin
