Our Story

Dr. Zara Toony brings over 15 years of experience in education, technology, and artificial intelligence to Talk to AI School. Throughout her career, she recognized a growing problem: while AI technology was advancing at an unprecedented pace, the education surrounding it remained highly technical, intimidating, and inaccessible to most people. Millions of individuals were either overwhelmed by AI or missing the opportunity to benefit from it simply because no one had taught them how to use it in a practical, safe, and understandable way.

She founded Talk to AI School to bridge this gap. Her philosophy is simple: you don't need to be a programmer to use AI, just as you don't need to be a mechanic to drive a car. What you need is a knowledgeable instructor who can teach you how to use the technology confidently, responsibly, and effectively.

Today, AI is becoming as fundamental as the internet and smartphones once were. It is transforming education, business, healthcare, creativity, and everyday life. Yet many people still lack the skills to communicate effectively with AI, evaluate its responses critically, protect their privacy, and use these powerful tools ethically. Without proper education, users risk misinformation, overreliance on AI, privacy breaches, and missed opportunities for learning and innovation.

In 2020, Talk to AI School was created to prepare people for this new reality. Rather than focusing on coding or complex technical concepts, the school teaches practical AI literacy that anyone can understand and apply. Students learn how to ask better questions, solve real-world problems, improve productivity, spark creativity, and make informed decisions while understanding the limitations and responsibilities that come with AI.

At the heart of the curriculum is a strong emphasis on digital safety, ethical boundaries, critical thinking, and responsible AI use. The goal is not only to help students use AI more effectively but also to empower them to become confident, informed, and responsible participants in an AI-powered world.
