25. Demystify, Upskill, Empower: Human-Centred AI with BitesizedGenius

In this episode, Tim welcomes Shimron Walters, founder of BitesizedGenius, to explore how clear, confidence-building AI training helps non-technical teams get real value from modern tools. Drawing on his journey from digital transformation in the Civil Service to entrepreneurship, Shimron shares how he translates jargon into practical skills for charities, SMEs and mission-driven organisations.He explains how BitesizedGenius  goes back to basics, from “what is AI?” to safe, compliant adoption, before scaling to AI agents and automated workflows. We dig into change management, GDPR and governance, and choosing the right stack (e.g. Copilot Studio vs general automation platforms) so leaders can balance risk with results. Real examples include briefing a VC firm on agents, hands-on training for local businesses, and designing accessible learning that builds digital confidence.From addressing digital skills gaps to imagining AI as a 24/7 personalised tutor for learners with additional needs, Shimron shows how thoughtful adoption can widen access, not just cut costs, especially across the charity and public sectors, where resources are tight and impact matters most.AI is our Business.UKAI is the Trade Association for AI businesses across the UK.
