Frequently asked questions

The Global AI is a nonprofit organization that provides free AI education, training and one-on-one guidance to people across the United States whose jobs or income are changing because of artificial intelligence. Our programs are online and open to learners in all 50 states.

We help people build the AI skills they need to move forward, whether that means a new job, a stronger role in their current one, or a business of their own.

AI is reshaping work in marketing, customer service, admin, design and many other fields, often in months rather than years. The people affected most often have the least time, money or access to retrain. We started The Global AI to share practical AI knowledge freely, so nobody is left behind because they couldn't afford to keep up.

A volunteer board of directors governs the organization. Our founders work with AI every day, building AI systems for businesses and helping industry groups shape how AI is adopted. Meet the team on our Board of Directors page.

The Global AI, Inc. is a registered nonprofit corporation. We've applied to the IRS for 501(c)(3) status, and the application is currently pending. We'll update this page as soon as we receive a decision. Our EIN and registration details are listed on our About and Transparency pages.

No. We're an independent nonprofit. We don't sell courses, software or services to learners. We may teach with third-party AI tools, many of which have free versions, and we'll always tell you if a tool costs money.

Anyone who wants to stay ahead as AI changes the way we work, including:

• Workers whose roles are changing: learn to use AI in your current job instead of being replaced by it
• People between jobs or changing careers: build the AI skills employers are hiring for now
• Freelancers and small business owners: use AI to save time, reach customers and compete with bigger players
• Aspiring entrepreneurs: turn an idea into a business faster with AI tools
• Anyone curious about AI: understand what it can and can't do, and use it with confidence

No. We start from the basics and explain everything in plain language. If you can use email and a web browser, you can take our programs.

Everywhere in the U.S. Our programs are fully online and open to learners in all 50 states.

Our programs are designed for adults (18+).

Our programs focus on practical, job-ready AI skills rather than advanced engineering. If you want to bring AI tools into your current role, you'll still find plenty to use.

We're building a growing library of practical AI programs, each designed around a real-world goal. These include:

• Learning AI tools for today's jobs
• Using AI to start or grow a business, for example building a website, chatbots and AI receptionists
• Understanding AI safely and responsibly

New programs are added as AI and the job market change. Create a free account to hear when each one opens.

Through a mix of:

• Self-paced online courses
• Live online workshops
• One-on-one guidance sessions

Most programs are built in short modules you can fit around work or family. You choose how quickly you move through them.

Yes. You'll receive a certificate of completion from The Global AI for each program you finish. You can add it to your resume or LinkedIn profile.

No organization can honestly guarantee that, and we won't promise it. We focus on practical skills, real projects and personal guidance that give you the best possible chance.

No. We teach with free tools or free versions wherever possible. If an exercise uses a paid tool, we'll say so clearly and suggest a free alternative.

We're building partnerships with job centers, workforce programs and employers to connect learners with real opportunities. If you represent one of these organizations, please get in touch.

Yes. Our programs are free for learners: no tuition, no hidden fees and no upsells. That includes certificates.

There's no catch. As a nonprofit, our mission is education, not profit. We're supported by grants, donations and volunteers, so cost is never the reason someone can't retrain.

The platform is under construction. Create a free account to join the early-access list, and we'll let you know as each program opens.

You join the early-access list and choose which programs you'd like to hear about. We'll only email you about what you've chosen, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

You can:

• Volunteer your time or expertise
• Introduce us to potential partners
• Share our work with someone who needs it
