We teach how to align the impact of an organisation's AI systems with its objectives and values.

Our education programs teach how to build, use and govern AI systems in a safe and trustworthy way that enables innovation whilst avoiding unintentional harm.

Gradient Institute’s approach to training is driven by personal experience on the technical side and our direct involvement in the development of relevant national and international standards and best practices. Our courses are grounded in interactive discussions and activities that draw from real problems faced by participants. They are curated and delivered by highly experienced senior researchers at Gradient who have personally faced these same problems.
