I created and filmed Generative AI Is for Everyone!, a four-part corporate training series designed to make generative AI understandable and useful to employees across KLA.
The approximately 2.5-hour series began with Journey to GenAI, an accessible introduction to how generative AI works and why it matters. It continued with Prompting Like a Pro, followed by more advanced instruction on enterprise AI tools, agents, and vibe coding. My close friend and colleague, Dr. Aswathy R Kurup co-stars in the course.

More than 1,000 employees watched the first installment, and Generative AI Is for Everyone! became KLA's most popular training offering that year.
My goal was not simply to explain the technology. I wanted employees with very different levels of technical experience to understand what these systems can do, where they can fail, and how to use them thoughtfully in their own work. The series drew on one of the most important lessons from my years teaching computer science, mathematics, and physics: complicated ideas become much more approachable when they are presented straightforwardly, visually, and with examples people can immediately explore for themselves.
Two sample clips from Part 1, Journey to GenAI, are embedded below.
