Bloom Academy For Artificial Intelligence - BAFAI

Nearly half of what workers ask AI to help with today involves thinking, not creating.

According to Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index, the biggest AI story isn't only that it's helping people work faster, but that it's helping more workers do work that once required deep expertise.

66% of AI users say AI helps them spend more time on high-value work, while 58% say they're producing work they couldn't have produced a year ago.

The opportunity goes beyond simply learning how to use AI, but learning how to think, decide, and work alongside it.

A few months or years ago, if someone had asked you what AI was, you probably would have said ChatGPT.

Maybe that's still your main frame of reference. You use it to write emails, summarise documents, and speed up a few tasks.

Then you notice something. Some people aren't just using AI. They're using it to automate workflows, improve decisions, and transform how work gets done.

That's when the questions begin:
• How does AI actually work?
• Why are some people getting more value from it than others?
• What do they understand that most people don't?

The answers usually start with the fundamentals because understanding AI is far more powerful than simply using AI.

If you're curious about AI and want to understand what sits beneath the tools, headlines, and hype, the BAFAI AI Fundamentals Programme is the perfect place to start.

Ideas shape the future. People bring those ideas to life.

That's why BAFAI is proud to support TEDx Landmark University 2026 as an official sponsor.

As AI continues to reshape industries, platforms that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, bold ideas, and meaningful dialogue have never been more important, and we're proud to support an event that brings together thinkers, builders, creators, and future leaders.

Join us at TEDx Landmark University 2026 on June 6, 2026, at the University Chapel.

Here's to a month of clarity, creativity and growth.

Happy New Month from BAFAI

Here's the myth that's been keeping so many talented people out of the AI space: "If I can't code, AI isn't for me."

The truth is AI is a massive field with room for strategists, analysts, ethicists, product managers, educators, and so many more!

You don't need to write a single line of code to build a career in AI. What you DO need is the right knowledge, the right mindset, and the right training, and that's exactly where we come in.
