I've taught thousands of people how to use AI - here's what I've learned Most people fail with AI because they don't understand what it actually is - if you treat it as a skill, not a shortcut, you'll get the best results Training teams to use AI at work has given me a front-row seat to a new kind of professional divide.

Modern social life often begins on screen. Digital profiles invite us to inspect the lives - and social circles - of friends, colleagues and strangers. Before meeting someone new, chances are we may have scanned their Instagram, LinkedIn or dating profile, forming assumptions from a carefully curated snapshot of their life.
