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.

Our Team …


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 and lots of fun.

Francisca Fortes
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 organizational discipline to all the disparate items Keith creates and uses – ranging from his original video clips, to comedy routines, to AI maker interviews – all making AI literacy come alive.
