Darya Zhuykova
Implements generative AI in industry
Lecturer in applied AI
She came to AI from psychology. Her interest lies in what happens to a person when they begin thinking alongside a machine.
She teaches what she does
Darya applies AI to real processes every day, building bots, automations and prototypes herself. In her lessons, children lead their own projects with an adult nearby to help when needed.
“You cannot learn AI by watching from the sidelines, just as you cannot learn snowboarding from a description.”
“AI does not make children less capable. The habit of never checking does.”
Check the facts
Anything a model produces is a hypothesis until the student checks the source.
Explain what you need
Expressing a thought precisely is a skill that matters far beyond AI.
Finish what you started
A project is finished when it works and you can show it to someone.
Darya also speaks at technology conferences, runs university workshops in Shenzhen, and leads webinars in English for students in Southeast Asia.
