Your Community's Digital Future

Some Communities Will Thrive. Others Will Be Left Behind.

The AI revolution isn't just changing individual jobs—it's reshaping entire communities. Some neighborhoods will attract investment, talent, and opportunity. Others will watch as resources flow elsewhere.

The difference? Leadership. Communities with leaders who understand AI, who can advocate for resources, who can build coalitions for change—these communities will write their own futures.

This course equips you to be that leader. In six hours, you'll gain the knowledge and tools to ensure your community isn't just prepared for the AI economy—but positioned to thrive in it.
