Question 1

What is the idea behind HumanU + AI?

Accepted Answer

HumanU + AI was founded on the premise that we can make better decisions when we understand how AI and other technologies are changing the world. We believe that AI, in all its forms, has the potential to help humanity accelerate solving some of our most difficult issues.

While some who are concerned want to avoid AI entirely, the truth is AI has already become woven into the fabric of everyday life: finances, job applicant screening, social media, shopping, and the news and information we receive. The choice is not if we use it, but how active or passive we are in our interactions with technology.

An educated public that is knowledgeable about AI capabilities, risks, and benefits will be better able to make decisions for themselves and their families.

AI is rapidly evolving, and now is the best time to get up to speed on how to use generative AI in everyday life.

Susan Guest is the founder of HumanU + AI, a subsidiary of her consulting company, Guest Talent. Although HumanU + AI is a new name to many, Guest Talent has been in business for more than 15 years.

Susan became interested in generative AI several years ago and has trained with Josh Cavalier, a pioneering leader in learning and development, in addition to self-directed and experiential learning.

Susan invited her colleague from a long-term learning program, Erin Fry, to join her in this endeavor. Erin's complementary skill sets in communication, marketing, and project management have enabled this team to get off the ground quickly.

Susan's background is in learning and development, change, and organizational transformation. With her teams, she has led the creation of hundreds of learning programs for her clients in her long career as a learning leader and change consultant on critical skills from leadership to new technology. Susan's clients span Fortune 100 companies in many industries to not-for-profit organizations.

With an extensive background in learning and development, Susan and her team of experts assess and prioritize needs and determine the most effective way to build those skills.
