Dr. Nisha Talagala founded AIClub with a singular vision: to democratize Artificial Intelligence education. With over 20 years of experience in the tech industry and as an expert in distributed systems and machine learning, she realized that the next generation needed a new kind of literacy.
The journey began when she noticed that while children were surrounded by AI from social media algorithms to voice assistants, they were not being taught how these systems actually worked or how they could build them themselves.
Under Dr. Talagala's leadership, AIClub has grown from a local initiative into a global educational powerhouse, partnering with schools and organizations to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to master the technology that is shaping our world.
