As AI reshapes every corner of tech, design and product teams are at a crossroads: embrace AI responsibly and creatively—or risk being left behind.


This 8-week cohort-based course teaches you how to integrate AI into your workflow without losing the human touch.


Whether you’re a UX designer, DesignOps professional, UX researcher, or product manager, you’ll learn the practical skills and ethical frameworks to build AI-powered solutions your users can trust and drive adoption.



Why This Course Is Different:

Other courses focus on teach you just to use a specific AI tool or set of tools, but these become out of date quicker than you can blink.


We teach foundational enduring skills that are more tool agnostic and help me master AI thinking.


We don't just dump information and make you do all the hard work to translate it into new practices for your context —we also help rewire how you think about and accomplish your work goals with AI as your partner, including :


Why Human-Centered AI Is Essential for Today’s Professionals


“All PMs Will Be AI PMs - or they won't be PMs any longer” AI isn’t a niche add-on anymore—it’s core to creating innovative products and experiences. But many professionals still feel uncertain or overwhelmed by rapid AI advancements.


Designers & DesignOps struggle with the fear of replacement or loss of creativity if they rely too heavily on generative tools.


UX Researchers & ResearchOps worry about black-box AI replacing human insight or misinterpreting user data.


Product Managers need to translate AI possibilities into real business value—without falling into hype or ethical pitfalls.


This course tackles those challenges head-on. You’ll gain a proven process to integrate AI ethically and effectively—so you stay competitive, relevant, and indispensable.

- Real-world exercises you can apply immediately in your everyday work
