HumanSide of AI Course
For teams who use AI every day, and still aren't sure they're using it well.
Your team, using AI with judgment, not guesswork.
A live, three-session cohort, taught by the experts at HumanSide, that turns everyday AI use into real, shared judgment.
Access to AI is the keys to the car. This is the driver's ed.

The receipts
The proof behind the room.
When the stakes are real, leaders do not need a pitch. They need evidence. Here is ours, trusted by teams at Google, Nike, the United Nations, WHOOP, and HubSpot, with 11 Brandon Hall awards and a 7-year Google partnership behind the program.

You use AI every day. How do you know if you're using it well?
The gap is not access to AI. The gap is the judgment, wisdom, and skill to use it well.
Right now, a lot of that use is guesswork. Your team pastes a prompt and hopes, and they cannot always tell a good answer from a confident-sounding wrong one. The cost shows up quietly: rework, avoidable risk, and decisions made on shaky ground.

70% of successful AI adoption comes down to people and process.
(BCG, 10-20-70 principle)
Access to AI is the keys to the car. This is the driver's ed.
Here is what I see in every room I walk into: smart, capable people nodding when AI comes up. Nodding like they know. And then going home and Googling things they are embarrassed they do not already understand.
I am not talking about people who are behind. I am talking about you, probably. Someone who has used a large language model enough to know it works, but not enough to know why it sometimes fails you. You have a system. It is just not a framework. You are doing the thing. You just do not have the language for it yet.
Access to AI is not the same as AI fluency. Most teams already have ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. What people often do not have is a shared standard for using those tools well. Some AI-assisted work is better. Some is faster but weaker, riskier, or harder to trust. That is exactly what The HumanSide of AI is for.
We believe in people. We always have.
For over a decade, HumanSide has built the human skills that make work better: judgment, trust, communication, leadership, culture, and creativity. AI has made that work more urgent, not less. So when your team cannot tell a good answer from a confident-sounding wrong one, that is not a tool problem. It is a judgment problem, and judgment is exactly what we have spent that decade teaching.
This is for
You, if you recognize yourself in one of these.
The Self-Taught User
You have been using AI tools on your own for months, maybe a year, but you built your approach from YouTube videos and trial and error, and you know there are entire categories of use you have never tried.
The Quiet Skeptic
You are not sure AI is as transformative as everyone claims, but you are not willing to write it off either, so you are using it carefully and watching for a reason to commit fully.
The Company-Funded Learner
Your manager or your company has asked you to get more serious about AI, you have a training budget or a sympathetic boss, and you want a structured program you can point to when someone asks what you did about it.
Who it is not for: anyone looking for AI theory or a tool demo. The HumanSide of AI is for people who want to use AI well in the actual work they do every week.
AI Fluency in three sessions.
You leave the program with work you made from your own job, not a hypothetical exercise. Here is what is yours to keep.
A mental model for AI that holds up across tools. The tools will keep changing. What you learn travels with you.
Sharper instincts for risk. You'll know what's safe to share, what deserves a second look, and when to slow down.
Prompting skills and frameworks that work everywhere. Quality output becomes something you can create on purpose, in any tool, for any task.
Interactive workbooks for real-world practice. You'll apply what you learn to your actual work during the program, and the workbooks go home with you.
A worksheet for building your AI-integrated workflows. You'll map where AI fits into your real work and leave with a plan you can put to use right away.
A deeper appreciation for what only humans bring. Accountability, judgment, imagination, and instinct grow with use. You'll learn how to keep all four strong while AI handles the rest.
Three live sessions. One clear path.
The HumanSide of AI moves you from clarity to control to momentum. Each session builds on the last, and you leave each one with something you can use the next morning.
Session 1
Clarity
AI Literacy & Responsible Use
You learn how AI works, what it does not do, how to talk about it clearly, and where risk shows up in everyday work.
Leave with: an AI fluency baseline.
Session 2
Control
Prompting Mastery & Judgment
You practice effective prompts, stronger iteration, and output evaluation. You learn to catch hallucinations, errors, bias, and weak reasoning before they become real problems.
Leave with: effective prompting frameworks.
Session 3
Momentum
Applied Workflow Integration
You apply AI to your real work, identify the highest-value use cases, and build safeguards for quality and responsible use.
Leave with: a workflow integration template and real-world application.
The model underneath
The AI Fluency Framework
This is the model behind HumanSide's AI fluency work. Five capabilities that outlast any tool update, woven through every session. The throughline across all three is sound judgment and responsible use.

- 02Prompting Mastery
- 03Judgment & Evaluation
- 04Ethical & Responsible Use
- 05Applied AI in Personal Workflow
What a session actually feels like.
Not a webinar you half-watch with your camera off. Here is the 3-hour rundown, start to finish.
You bring your own real work.
Not a hypothetical. You show up with an actual task from your week: the email, the analysis, the plan you'd normally sit and grind through alone.
You try it live, together.
You prompt, you compare, you watch what "better" actually looks like next to what you would have done on your own. The whole room is working at once, so it feels like a workshop, not a lecture.
Peer evaluation.
Gather and share feedback with cohort peers in paired conversations or small group breakout rooms.
You leave with something you use Monday.
A prompt that works, a piece of your workflow rebuilt, a clear next step. Not notes you never open again.
You won't be the least-prepared person in the room. Everyone there is figuring out the same thing.

The leaders who trust HumanSide.
These are the teams that trained the human skills this AI program is built on: judgment, communication, and trust. Here is what working with HumanSide is like.
"My expectations and the stakes were ridiculously high. I don't say this lightly. I don't think I could ask for a better partner. The team at HumanSide isn't just another partner, they are a critical extension of our team."
"I've caught myself intentionally pausing and thinking 'what did Katie & team teach me that would be important before I have this next conversation?' It's always helped."
Manager, Google
"As one of our employees recently said, 'HumanSide is a miracle. They get us, we get them. True synergy.' I'm not sure where we'd be without them!"
Director of People, Framework Homeownership
"HumanSide is the answer to a world increasingly immersed in technology. Work is done with people. To sustain progress, we need to be more human."
Leadership Development Trainer, HubSpot
Trusted by teams at Google, Nike, the United Nations, WHOOP & HubSpot, with 11 Brandon Hall Group awards behind the program.
Three things you're probably thinking.
I've already watched a bunch of AI tutorials.
Tutorials teach you features. The HumanSide of AI is a live, interactive session giving you real-time feedback and expert support.
My team is too busy for three sessions.
Across nine hours, your teams receive the practice and application with real work that removes the guesswork and rework.
We're not technical enough for this.
No prior AI depth required. If you've opened ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini even once for a work task, you're exactly who this was built for.
Free courses explain AI. This changes how your team uses it.
Anthropic, Microsoft, and Coursera all have good free courses. None of them can sit in the room with your team.

You asked. We answered.
Most teams already have access to AI. What they do not have is a shared way to tell a good answer from a confident-sounding wrong one, to prompt for real work, and to know where it is safe to rely on AI and where it is not. Access is the keys to the car. The HumanSide of AI is the driver's ed: it builds the judgment that turns AI from a gamble into a dependable part of the work.
Those courses are good at explaining the concepts, on your own time, for free. What they cannot do is sit in the room with your team. The HumanSide of AI is live and led by the HumanSide team: three working sessions where your people practice on their own real work, get judgment calls checked as they happen, and leave with a shared standard the whole team uses. Free courses teach you about AI. This changes how your team actually uses it. That difference, judgment instead of more modules, is the whole point.
No. The HumanSide of AI is designed for anyone using a large language model at work, regardless of how long or how deeply. If you have opened ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini even once for a work task, you are the right audience. The curriculum starts from your actual experience and builds a framework around what you are already doing.
Live attendance is best, because the workbook exercises and cohort discussion are where the work happens. The recording and make-up policy is confirmed at registration, so you know your options before you commit.
Full refunds are available up to 14 days before the cohort start date. After that date, your seat can be transferred to a colleague at no charge, or applied as a credit toward the next cohort. No refunds within 14 days of the start date. Email the HumanSide team at hello@thehumansideof.us to initiate any of these options.
Yes, and most participants use company training budgets to cover the cost. If you need a formal invoice for your finance team, contact the HumanSide team at hello@thehumansideof.us before completing registration. We can provide an invoice for your finance team.
Yes. Participants who complete the program receive a certificate of completion from HumanSide, Inc. It is suitable for sharing on LinkedIn or adding to a professional development record.
Yes, up to 5 seats per company at the standard price of $1,500 per seat. Select your quantity when you register. If your team needs more than 5 seats, that becomes an enterprise conversation and a different program structure. Use the "Bring this to your company" link on this page to start that conversation.
Yes. If you have a team of more than 5 people who need this content, HumanSide delivers a private in-house version for organizations. That is a separate conversation, not a checkout. Use the Book time with us option on this page and the HumanSide team will follow up within one business day.
