Who am I?

Great question. Can I get back to you on that one? In the meantime, I'm Tom Ross, a speaker and human/non-human relations consultant on a mission to transform the way individuals and organizations perceive and utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI). In a world where AI is often seen as a threat, I am here to show you a different path. With my innovative approach called Open Source Mode (OSM), we can turn AI into a powerful ally, enhancing personal growth, teamwork, and innovation. Let's explore the OSM Curriculum together, a framework designed to reshape mindsets and foster positive change.

Through our exploration, we'll uncover the impact of exclusivity on individuals and groups and introduce the Open Source Mode as a strategy for inclusivity and sharing. Prepare to embark on a journey that will expand your horizons and open doors to limitless possibilities.
