Miami AI School - Phase 1
About AI School
AI School is a structured, hands-on education program designed to turn executives, operators, founders, and creatives into AI-native leaders. Built by eMerge Americas and Miami AI Hub, it goes beyond theory and focuses on practical, enterprise-ready application of AI, from understanding core concepts to building real systems and deploying agentic workflows. Each phase is outcome-driven, with live demos, real use cases, and portfolio-grade deliverables rather than passive learning.
