About Peter Bittner
Peter Bittner is an AI trainer and product engineer who has taught more than 500 professionals to use AI in real work and now builds the AI platforms behind newsrooms in nine markets. With Kris Krüg he co-founded The AI Upgrade, an AI education company that ran from 2022 to 2026; every course ended in a capstone you had to ship.
