Straits Institute for Applied AI
The Academic Board

Practitioners, not theorists.

Every Board member has built, deployed or taught AI in working conditions — and brings that experience to bear on what the Institute publishes and teaches. The Board reviews curriculum, lends standing to credentials, and sets the editorial standard for every output.
