As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, the need for accessible and practical AI education grows. CampusAI was created to address this need, offering a platform that combines expert insights, personalized learning with a community-driven approach. In this article, we talk to Founder & CEO Aureliusz Gorski to delve into the origins of CampusAI, its mission, and the unique ways it is preparing learners for the future of AI.
What inspired you to start CampusAI, and what is the core mission you aim to achieve with this platform?
The inspiration behind CampusAI was the desire to create a space where individuals and organizations could fully harness the potential of artificial intelligence. Our goal is to make AI more accessible and understandable for everyone, regardless of their level of knowledge or experience. CampusAI is a response to the overwhelming noise surrounding AI – a platform designed to guide people through the technological revolution in a simple and engaging way, helping individuals and organizations prepare for an AI-driven future.
Our mission is to go beyond education and drive transformation. CampusAI empowers individuals to explore new opportunities, enhance their skills, and join a global network focused on collaboration and innovation. By placing people at the core of technology, we ensure that AI becomes a tool for unlocking human potential, fostering creativity, and boosting productivity.
On your website you mention that participants can progress at their own pace. Could you tell us more about how the platform facilitates personalized learning?
At CampusAI, personalized learning is at the heart of our approach. We recognize that each participant has unique needs, goals, and levels of familiarity with AI. To support this, the platform is designed to enable self-paced and blended learning journeys. All our courses are structured into modular, bite-sized segments that include a wealth of examples, case studies, and practical exercises involving AI tools.

The training culminates in the creation of an individual project that requires using AI solutions to a practical challenge relevant to the participant’s field. Upon completion, each participant receives a certificate endorsed by top AI researchers, such as Prof. Aleksandra Przegalińska and Prof. Dariusz Jemielniak. This course not only optimizes participants’ workflows but also opens doors to new professional growth opportunities.
Community engagement remains a cornerstone of the learning experience. Participants can connect with peers and mentors through news sharing, discussion forums, and collaborative projects. This fosters a culture of shared learning while allowing individuals to progress at their own pace. Additionally, CampusAI provides on-demand access to a comprehensive library of resources and AI tools, empowering learners to explore topics aligned with their specific interests and professional goals.
You emphasize the importance of developing the platform in collaboration with the community. Could you share some examples of how community feedback has shaped your programs and features?
Community collaboration is a cornerstone of CampusAI’s development. By actively engaging with our learners, industry experts, and partners, we ensure the platform evolves to meet real-world needs. We constantly gather feedback from our participants to address their needs related to business and personal projects. This input allows us to continually update our courses with more interactive exercises, new tools, real-world case studies, and practical projects that apply AI solutions to workplace challenges.
A prime example of our community-driven approach is our hAI Magazine, which is the first AI magazine in Poland that is both created by and shaped through our local community’s contributions. This publication serves as a platform where our participants, industry experts, and AI enthusiasts share their insights, articles, and case studies. From highlighting innovative uses of AI in various industries to exploring ethical considerations and future trends, the magazine reflects the diverse voices and expertise within the CampusAI network. By fostering this collaborative spirit, hAI Magazine has become a living example of how community engagement drives meaningful innovation.
How do you stay ahead of the curve in terms of AI advancements and ensure that your content and tools are always up to date?
Staying ahead in the rapidly evolving field of AI requires close collaboration with leading researchers and experts. At CampusAI, we work directly with top AI researchers, such as Prof. Aleksandra Przegalińska and Prof. Dariusz Jemielniak, to ensure our content and tools are rooted in the latest advancements and discoveries in the field.

How do you measure the success and impact of your educational programs, and can you share some metrics or outcomes that highlight your effectiveness?
Many of our clients return to us with positive feedback, sharing real examples of how our courses have made a difference in their lives. From optimizing workflows and achieving project success to earning career advancements, their stories highlight the tangible impact of our programs. For instance, participants frequently mention how tools and strategies learned during our courses helped them streamline their daily tasks, reduce inefficiencies, and save valuable time, allowing them to focus on higher-priority work. Others have shared how they successfully applied their new AI skills to complete complex projects, often exceeding expectations and earning recognition within their organizations. These individual successes also extend to their teams and companies, where the adoption of AI-powered solutions has resulted in measurable improvements in productivity and outcomes.
Beyond these professional achievements, we are continually inspired by the creative and social projects, which our participants are involved in. Many of these initiatives go beyond personal or organizational goals, focusing on making a broader positive impact in their communities, further showcasing the transformative power of the skills and insights gained through our platform.
One inspiring example involves collaborating with a city and external experts in community participation to support the automation of administrative processes. This initiative leverages local efforts to create practical tools, such as a user-friendly guide for navigating a selected city. Our goal is to create a space that drives meaningful change and fosters collaboration between the city officials and community . While this work is starting in Warsaw, our ambition is to expand the initiative to involve more cities in the future.
