What Our Clients Have to Say…

  • "The online and in-person AIConfident workshops have been a fantastic start to our AI journey at Ark Curriculum Plus. The delivery and tone for both sessions was spot on, and the AIConfident approach to use-case development really helped us consider the practicalities and challenges, offering a framework that deepened and challenged our thinking about how we might use AI in the organisation. The session was well-paced, giving us the opportunity to experiment in a structured way with generative AI and to focus on our specific team situations. The workshop pushed our thinking forward, helping us understand wider use cases and the risks involved. Tim's guidance was instrumental in breaking down individual cases, challenging us to focus first on the problems we wanted to solve, and then exploring whether or not AI was the appropriate solution to the problem. We left the sessions with actionable insights and a newfound confidence in harnessing AI responsibly and effectively"

    Liz Tyler, Ark Curriculum Plus

  • "Our work with AIConfident has rapidly taken us to a point where teachers and students are confident in the use of AI, with a clear understanding of its benefits. Through practical workshop sessions, Tim has not only instilled a deep understanding of the technology but has also emphasised the importance of using it responsibly. Tim's excellent support has set a benchmark for utilising generative AI effectively and ethically, paving the way for further educational innovation. We feel like we are at the start of an exciting journey."

    Michael Shaw, Academic Principal, Buckswood School

  • "AI Confident have been an asset through every level of our school since Tim led training for our staff in our January Inset day, running both whole staff lectures and workshops with smaller groups, which received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Tim returned to present assemblies to our pupils, run an online Q&A with our parents and lead discussions with our governors. With support from AIConfident, we have developed a whole school approach to the use of AI and hope to continue working with him in the future. Tim's background speaks for itself, his presentation skills are excellent, being able to engage the very confident users or AI and the not so, and his calm dementor makes him a welcoming and engaging individual."

    James McNaughton, Head of Digital Transformation, LVS Ascot

Case Study

Case Study

How Artificial Intelligence technologies are applied for the benefit of society is a live conversation.  At AIConfident we believe passionately that everyone should be empowered to be part of that conversation.  Take a look at the case study of our work at Buckswood School. We empowered them to assess and implement AI in four ways, across educators, school leaders, students, and total school policy. 

Conversations on AI

Putting the human in the loop empowers your team to work alongside AI tools to make the most of their expertise. Doing so also helps overcome some fears that people have about AI replacing expertise or producing inaccurate content.
