In a world where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries faster than most people can keep up, LA-based entrepreneurs Aisha Corpas Wynn and Lana Hout have built a platform dedicated to making the technology understandable, approachable, and useful for everyone.
As co-hosts of The AI Chicks podcast, a Webby honoree and one of Feedspot’s Top 100 AI Podcasts, Wynn and Hout have emerged as influential voices helping bridge the gap between complex technological innovation and everyday audiences. Through candid conversations, expert interviews, and practical discussions about the future of AI, the duo has created a growing community of listeners eager to understand how artificial intelligence will impact their careers, businesses, and daily lives.
And they speak from experience. Wynn is an Emmy-nominated executive producer and one of Hollywood’s leading AI strategists, bringing artificial intelligence to major media groups and entertainment professionals. Hout is an award-winning M&A advisor and two-time Los Angeles Business Journal Woman of Influence in Finance who applies AI across business strategy, marketing, and operations. As certified applied AI experts, they have led workshops and presentations for organizations including Walmart, the Television Academy, and LA Tech Week.
Now The AI Chicks are turning that expertise into education.
This year marks a significant expansion for the brand with the launch of The AI Ready Curriculum, an educational initiative designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence. The program is being piloted in schools across New Jersey, New York, Alabama, and Ohio, helping students develop AI literacy at a time when understanding emerging technology is becoming as important as traditional computer skills.
In fact, The AI Chicks offer two complementary programs: the AI Ready Curriculum, piloting in K-12 schools across four states, and the AI Ready online course, a self-paced program that helps professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone eager to understand AI gain foundational knowledge while connecting with a broader community of AI enthusiasts.
The AI Chicks have also released the AI Ready book, available now on Amazon, offering readers a foundational guide to understanding and using artificial intelligence in everyday life.
The curriculum reflects a core belief shared by Wynn and Hout: access to AI education should belong to everyone, not just those already working in tech.
“We’re at a pivotal moment where understanding AI is becoming a fundamental life skill,” says Wynn. “Students, entrepreneurs, and today’s workforce all deserve the access and guidance to learn AI and thrive as society evolves. That’s why we built The AI Chicks, to bridge that gap between artificial intelligence and people who don’t come from a tech background.”
The expansion arrives as national conversations around AI education continue to intensify. The AI Chicks are among the signatories of the White House’s Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education, standing alongside leading tech companies like Google, IBM, Microsoft, Meta, and NVIDIA in a national commitment to youth AI literacy.
For Hout, the mission extends beyond technology itself.
“AI’s becoming part of how we work, learn, and make decisions every single day, often faster than people realize,” Hout explains. “Understanding these tools well enough to use them with confidence is quickly becoming essential, and our goal is to help people build that fluency early, so they can turn this moment into real opportunity.”
