What this programme promises

THE CONTRACT

I am not going to promise to make you an expert in six hours, and I am not going to frighten you with a future in which your job has been abolished. I will promise you one thing instead, and it is a thing you can measure. If you finish this programme properly — by doing its exercises, not by reading it through — you will be able to do the five things below.

1Explain to someone outside your field how an intelligent system learns and why it gets things wrong, without using a single equation.

2Produce real work with AI in your own field, and verify that work properly before you put your name to it.

3Tell the difference between an attack on your system and an attack on your mind, and build a defence against each of them.

4Write an AI use policy for your organisation that people can actually carry out, rather than one that sits on a shelf.

5Lead a team that is half people and half software, and hand on what you have built to whoever comes after you.

In return, there are two conditions on you. Never climb to the next degree before you have passed the gate of the one you are on, and believe nothing in this programme until you have tested it with your own hands. Knowledge that is never tried is not really knowledge at all; it is an impression.

The ambassador's four roles

An ambassador is not the person who knows the most about the technology, but the one most able to turn it into a sound decision for the people around them.

FIG. A4 — The roles, and what each one answers for
Explains
Translates the technology into language a non-specialist understands, without alarm and without dismissal.
The mark: answers "what does this mean for our work?" in three sentences.
Protects
Sees the attack surface before it is used, and puts the counter-control where it belongs.
The mark: tests what is assumed safe before anyone else does.
Enables
Builds the team a repeatable procedure, so the knowledge does not stay in one head.
The mark: turns personal practice into a template everyone uses.
Hands on
Writes down what they learned and passes it over, so the effect outlives their post.
The mark: measures success by what continued after them, not by what they did themselves.

The four roles are practised together, not in sequence: someone who explains but does not protect creates enthusiasm without a fence, and someone who protects but does not hand on creates dependence on themselves.
