AI adoption begins with a new mindset, not a new tool

Help your organization meet AI with confidence. Our Human-focused AI Collection will help your people get curious about AI, drawing on TED Talks from the thinkers, builders and researchers shaping the technology and how it impacts the way we work.

With courses that are leveled and curated to support understanding, critical thinking and intentional application, this collection will help support AI buy-in and adoption.

Solving the human challenges that hinder AI adoption

Organizations are heavily investing in AI, but many strategies are being met with uncertainty, fear or simply a lack of preparedness. We designed our AI Collection to support organizations with the human side of AI: buy-in, mindset shifts, effective adoption, critical thinking and strategic use.

Ask yourself these critical questions

  • When your teams use AI, do they bring judgment and a critical eye, or take the output at face value?
  • Are your people genuinely on board with AI, or are pockets of the organization quietly holding back?
  • Can they catch AI bias or a hallucination before it reaches a customer, a decision or a deliverable?
  • And your most enthusiastic adopters — are they using it responsibly, or creating risk without realizing it?

Discussion toolkits to support targeted learning journeys 

Individual learning builds the foundation, and discussion-based learning helps new ideas stick. The Human-focused AI Collection includes four discussion-based toolkits to help support deeper learning.

Discuss AI Tools (all audiences)

Assess what AI tools are the right fit, on an individual level.

  • Identify tasks AI can effectively manage (and the types of work it should not manage)
  • Reinforce the importance of collaborating with other people, instead of relying solely on AI
  • Thoughtfully select and implementing AI tools

Discuss People-led AI (all audiences)

Assess where human capabilities add value beyond AI.

  • Balance AI use with critical thinking, creativity and ethics
  • Convey the importance of human insight in decision-making
  • Explore human strengths with AI tools to improve outcomes

Discuss AI Integration (manager audience)

Integrate AI responsibly, keeping people and impact at the heart of AI adoption.

  • Build trust by involving employees in AI decisions
  • Enhance team effectiveness to allow more focus on creative or strategic work
  • Empower teams with AI skills, turning fear into growth opportunities and meaningful workflow adjustments

Discuss Any Talk (all audiences)

Pair this flexible toolkit with any talk in the AI Collection to scale conversations across the program.

  • Help L&D or discussion leaders spark the right conversations with modularized elements
  • Use a suggested team question as a starting point for breakout or group discussions
  • Leverage two additional TED Talk ideas, featuring other courses in the Collection
