Our Story
In March 2023, Sam Keller teamed up with his 12-year-old son, Kaz, to explore the promise and pitfalls of ChatGPT.
What began as a father–son experiment quickly caught fire: hundreds of people joined their workshops to make sense of this powerful, often intimidating new technology.
Through those sessions, Sam spelled out a deeper need.
Leaders didn’t just want technical how-tos – they needed a way to build the mindsets, skills, tools, and habits to weave AI into strategy, culture, and daily work.
That realization became Gen AI Academy.
Today, Gen AI Academy's team helps executives and the organizations led by the executives use AI as a true force multiplier, boosting productivity, sharpening decisions, and generating meaningful impact in an increasingly AI-influenced world.
