Yuying Chen-Wynn is the former Head of AI at PEAK6, where she led all things Generative AI across investment, risk, and product strategy. Previously the Chief Product Officer at Barnes & Noble Education, she has 20+ years building tech products—and 13 of those in AI—across Big Tech, FinTech, and EdTech.

She co-hosts the AI After Hours podcast, writes a no-fluff Substack newsletter on AI reality checks, and started in AI through computer vision at MIT—where she accidentally got in trying to get to Boston.

Yuying’s mission is simple: cut through AI hype, and make these tools usable for real people. In this lightning lesson, you'll get clarity, not jargon—and a boost of confidence that yes, you can try this (even if you’re “not technical”).
