We are building the next generation of human-centric AI talent through hands-on learning and applied research.
AXL’s learning programs are led by experienced researchers and mentors with a long track record of training students, founders, and industry practitioners. Through real-world projects, guided experimentation, and close mentorship, participants develop practical AI skills, sound technical judgment, and the ability to apply emerging technologies responsibly in real organizational settings.

Participants build skills to assess their organization’s business context, data, and workflows to identify where human-centered AI can create real value, distinguishing between hype, basic automation, and strategic opportunities.
Participants learn how to frame AI problems, work effectively with technical teams, and validate solutions through prototyping, user feedback, and feasibility testing before committing significant resources.
Participants develop the skills to apply AI solutions in real work settings, focusing on human-centered design, adoption, and ensuring systems are usable, sustainable, and valuable to teams.
