Become confident and comfortable in your AI knowledge

LIBRARY

Access high-quality and in-depth content

The news headlines only scratch the surface of what AI can (and can’t) do. We’re building a growing library of explainers, guides, expert interviews, and more.

ACADEMY

Gain practical AI skills

AI can feel like a mysterious magic wand that you don’t know what to do with. Join our live workshops and self-paced courses to help you harness its power in your life and work.

SERVICES

Clarify how AI can benefit your company

Beware of the “AI-first” mindset: it implies AI can magically solve every problem under the sun. Real success comes from maintaining a problem-focused and human-centric approach to AI applications.

Why people love Year 2049

We’re proud of the quality and impact of our work

The clear, relatable, humourous and thoughtful way you wrote this - good to see an article about AI that doesn't provoke anxiety!
I love your step by step examples and what did/didn't work
Very compact and straight to the point without fluff
With things happening as fast as they are, this is the perfect level of depth - more detailed and contextual than a headline, less onerous and committal than an article/paper.
I loved that you included both the input and output and highlighted a new capability I didn't know existed!
How easy it was to follow. I didn't think this would be possible for a noob like me to pull off.
The reading list was very helpful and I like your open style of writing, making the experience of learning about AI very approachable for a newbie non tech person like me!!

I started Year 2049 to help people understand, embrace, and adapt to the emerging technologies shaping our future.

Human Factors + AI Engineering: I studied human factors and AI engineering at the University of Toronto which means I like making technology work for us.

7+ years of UX Design: I've been designing and launching digital products for companies in tech, banking, and e-commerce, while also building my own products.

125,000+ Followers: I make educational videos about AI and other emerging tech on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
