BlueCallom AI Academy
PURPOSE
The purpose of the BlueCallom AI Academy (BlueACAD) is to help business managers, executives, board members, shareholders, and career changers navigate the enormous space of artificial intelligence.
The academy provides public and company-specific education and training programs. They are focused on different audiences, including executives, managers, users, system managers, consultants, service partners, and career changers.
Attendees can earn certificates confirming they were fully present, actively participated in the training, and successfully completed a final test. A program detail letter describes the skills and learning the attendees could acquire.
PROGRAM FOCUS
The programs we offer focus on applied Enterprise AI for business. The complexity of Enterprise AI platforms, networks, applications, management, and holistic coordination is at a degree that we don’t offer developer courses right now.
LEGAL ENTITY
The BlueCallom AI Academy is a wholly owned business unit of Swiss-based BlueCallom AG in Zürich.
LIFELONG LEARNING
LLL doesn’t solve the problem. Adaptation does. We need to adapt to a completely new situation, where we can’t learn more – but maybe we can reimagine learning as a whole. One way is to extend our cognitive capabilities and capacity somehow. As we extended our physical powers or the lack of them, for instance, flying, faster running, deeper diving, lifting more weight, and much more, we now need to extend our cognitive powers. We do that already with AI.
UNDERSTANDING AI
The next most important learning is to understand the power of AI as a way to extend our cognitive capabilities and capacity. Those who ignore AI ignore the capability of advancing faster than ever before and therefore fall behind. This isn’t about understanding technology but understanding how to use it.
Nobody needs to know machine learning, training LLMs, prompting, coding, or any of the technical aspects, like you don’t need to know how to fly when flying from Zürich to Singapore.
The Future of Education
KNOWLEDGE EXPLOSION
When knowledge is doubling every 12 hours, our education system will be under huge pressure. That was predicted in 1980 by various sources. We have reached that time now.
SPECIALIZATION
Since we realized centuries ago that we can’t learn everything, we began to specialize. That was one of the wisest decisions. But no longer even a consideration.

PURPOSE OF THE BLUEACAD
The purpose of the BlueCallom AI Academy (BlueACAD) is to help business managers, executives, board members, shareholders, and career changers find their way through the enormous space of artificial intelligence.
We aim at advancing and augmenting human intelligence by using AI.
Human Intelligent Augmentation
Participants learn how to:
-
Understand where AI creates real economic, technological, societal, and humanistic value
-
Integrate Enterprise Workflow Intelligence where rigid, deterministic processes slow down a business flow.
-
Fuse human intelligence with artificial intelligence to build cognitive Enterprise
The goal for humans is to intelligently collaborate with AI.
AI will not replace people. But people leveraging AI will outperform those who don’t.
