Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General Questions

1. What is AI Mindset? AI Mindset is a training company founded by Conor Grennan, the Chief AI Architect at NYU Stern School of Business. We specialize in helping professionals and organizations develop the right mindset to effectively partner with generative AI. Our core belief is that successful AI adoption is not about mastering tools, but about fundamentally changing how people think, work, and solve problems with AI as an intelligent partner.

2. What makes the AI Mindset approach different from other AI training? While many programs focus on technical skills and lists of "use cases," our approach centers on behavioral and psychological change. We address the common mental blocks—like treating AI as just a better search engine (the "Google Brain" problem)—that prevent deep and sustainable adoption. Our training is less like learning new software and more like change management, designed to rewire the habits and behaviors that cause most AI initiatives to fail .

3. What is the AI Mindset Framework? The AI Mindset Framework is a proven, three-part model that organizes your interaction with AI around the core elements of professional work :

  • Learn: Using AI to deepen your understanding of complex topics, enhance decision-making, and improve communication.

  • Execute: Partnering with AI to streamline daily workflows, efficiently complete routine tasks, and boost productivity.

  • Strategize: Leveraging AI to tackle complex, long-term projects and master iterative problem-solving.

4. Who is this training for? Do I need a technical background? The training is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to the most advanced AI super users . No technical background is required. In fact, we believe that non-technical professionals may have an advantage because they don't have to "unlearn" habits from traditional technology. For expert users, this course provides the frameworks and language to help effectively onboard teammates, clients, and family members who may be struggling to adopt AI .

5. Who is Conor Grennan? Conor Grennan is the CEO and Founder of AI Mindset and the Chief AI Architect at NYU Stern School of Business. He is a New York Times bestselling author, keynote speaker, and co-hosts the "AI Applied Podcast". Conor has trained teams at many of the world's leading organizations, including OpenAI, McKinsey, NASA, Google, Amazon, and JP Morgan.
