Build power.
Put it to good use.
Build, train and lead AI staff. Turn what you learn into systems that carry useful work. Share what helps another person begin.
The goal is productive capacity you can direct toward your business, your ideas and the people who matter to you.
Why this is personal.
Mark’s daughter Whitney died at 22, five days after they climbed Mount Whitney together. That spring, she had graduated from the University of Miami, where AI helped her discover what she wanted to do with her life.
Her care for people is part of what gives this work its purpose. The Whitney Allen Endowed AI Scholarship helps future students find their own possibility.
“Since losing Whitney, grief has profoundly affected my concentration and my ability to get things done. AI has helped me carry work I care about: this presentation, the workshops, the courses.”Mark Allen · PIMDCON keynote
