Curriculum
Six months of carefully curated readings that build on each other — from understanding the AI landscape to leading your team through it. New months unlock as the program progresses.
The Landscape
Understanding where we are
We begin with two foundational perspectives: a legendary AI researcher's hard-won lesson about what actually works in AI, and a practical look at why management is about to become a superpower in an AI-powered world.
The Bitter Lesson
Rich Sutton
A brief, paradigm-shifting essay from one of AI's founding researchers. Sutton argues that the biggest lesson from 70 years of AI research is that general methods leveraging computation win over human-designed approaches — every single time.
Why Management Is Becoming an AI Superpower
Ethan Mollick
Mollick makes the case that managers — not engineers — may be the biggest beneficiaries of AI. The skills that matter most (delegation, quality control, orchestration) are exactly what AI demands.
