TAI Labs
Led by Aki Wijesundara, PhD and Manu Jayawardana. We train humans and machines.
TAI Labs - We Train the AI-Native Workforce.
TAI Labs is led by two founders who build and ship AI for a living. Aki Wijesundara, PhD, is an AI researcher and educator, a Google AI Accelerator alum and Senior AI Advisor to the United Nations, who has taught 10,000+ professionals to design and deploy production AI.
Manu Jayawardana is an exited AI founder (Rise AI, 35,000+ users), Co-Founder and CEO of TAI Labs, an NVIDIA Inception voice-AI startup, and Co-Founder of Snapdrum, where he builds production AI for Fortune 500s and YC startups. Together they pair research depth with real-world execution, so every course, workshop and service is taught by people who do this work, not just teach it.
