Peter Bittner is an AI trainer and consultant and co-founder of The AI Upgrade. He helps news, communications, and professional teams turn generative AI from an abstract mandate into practical skills and working systems.
A former multimedia journalist and UC Berkeley journalism instructor, Peter brings newsroom judgment and hands-on teaching into the same room. His question for Futureproof is concrete: how do working professionals move from tool noise to skills they can actually use?
