About Us …
We are:
a citizen focused effort devoted to teaching about Artificial Intelligence literacy as we curate, unpack, ponder, design and deliver impactful, fun, educational presentations for all ages.
Our purpose is to:
help citizens to overcome conflict, alienation and fear of AI – to awaken and empower everyone to take control over their own personal data and manage the inevitable changes technology brings.
Our presentations are:
developed for non-technical audiences who are the consumers of AI but not makers of AI – those who are curious about Artificial Intelligence but haven’t had an opportunity or the time to investigate the nuances and developments that are taking place everyday.

LARGE RESULTS
Keith McDonald
Founder | Chief Curator | Presenter
I provide the metaphoric recipes, cooking and delivery for the literacy AI project. And what I cook up is simple: I make Artificial Intelligence fun and understandable to sort out “good” AI from “bad” AI. I don’t pull any punches but leave plenty of room for attendees to make their own evaluations.
I bring well over 10,000 hours of presenting experience and I learned early on I could entertain as I teach to make complex subject matter really interesting.

Curator | Consulting Partner
I’m an extra pair of eyes for the project. I objectively look at the bits and pieces Keith puts together to provide critical review and feedback/suggestions to make sure the work resonates well and is truly understandable.
I also provide some organizational discipline to all the disparate items Keith creates and uses – ranging from his original video clips, to comedy routines with Siri (and Sori), to interviews with those involved in AI directly, to all of the exciting content we find to make AI literacy come alive.
We are refreshing our established sessions and working up new presentations for 2025– We offer a huge variety of existing material with flexible options that meet every kind of budget … check out our WORKSHOPS list.
