October Tech Talk: Your First Look At MTL AI Academy
From AI Awareness to Real-World Application
On October 28, Montgomery TechLab (MTL), in partnership with Petrie Institute, hosted its October Tech Talk, “Your First Look at MTL AI Academy,” offering professionals and organizational leaders an inside look at an exciting new opportunity to build practical artificial intelligence skills.
The virtual session introduced the MTL AI Academy | Powered by Petrie Institute, a cohort-based training program designed to help participants move beyond simply understanding AI to confidently applying it in their workplaces and organizations.
Attendees received an overview of the Academy’s four connected learning sessions, totaling 16 instructional hours, and explored how the curriculum addresses predictive modeling, deep learning, organizational data, and language models.
The discussion highlighted the Academy’s emphasis on learning by doing, with participants working toward practical outcomes, including a document-based AI assistant and an actionable roadmap for implementing AI within their organizations.
The session also covered program eligibility, prerequisites, cohort schedules, and the application process, with a live Q&A providing an opportunity to learn more about the Academy experience.
