About Taught by Humans
Taught by Humans is on a mission to ensure everyone - both businesses and individuals - are AI & data confident. To us, this means having the skills, knowledge, and confidence to use these tools effectively in work and life.
We stand against scaremongering about AI replacing humans in their jobs. Instead, we work with businesses to empower their people to use AI tools effectively, allowing the amazing humans you hired to focus on what you hired them for (or even something additional).
