About Michael Carmine, Founder and CEO, AI Educational Solutions

Passionate About Making AI Simple and Useful

Most AI consultants come from tech. Michael comes from education. That difference matters.

Before founding AI Educational Solutions, Michael spent 11 years working in higher education institutions across the United States (Southern Utah University, Pensacola State College, University of California, Santa Cruz, and Midlands Technical College), South Korea (Solbridge International School of Business (AACSB)), and Qatar (Al Rayyan International University College), designing undergraduate and graduate business and hospitality curriculum in Operations Management, Sales, Hotel Operations, Travel and Tourism, Statistics, Business Communications, and Career Development. He has trained over 700+ business owners, students, faculty, and staff in using AI. Michael has presented at conferences where the measure of success was not applause but whether the person in the back row actually walked away with something they could use.

That background is the reason AI Educational Solutions exists. When AI started moving fast enough to matter for small businesses, Michael saw the same gap he had spent his career closing: the tools were there, but the translation was missing. Business owners were overwhelmed, vendors were overpromising, and no one was sitting down with a real company to say "Here is what this actually looks like for you, specifically."

That is the work.

The Background Behind the Method

Most AI consultants come from technology. They know the tools deeply and they can explain how they work. What they often cannot do is teach.

Michael spent 11 years doing exactly that. Across institutions in the United States, South Korea, and Qatar, including Southern Utah University, Pensacola State College, the University of California Santa Cruz, and Solbridge International School of Business, he designed undergraduate and graduate curriculum in Operations Management, Sales, Business Communications, Statistics, and more. He has trained over 700 business owners, students, faculty, and staff. The standard he held himself to in every room was simple: did the person in the back row walk away with something they could actually use?

That same standard drives every AI engagement at AIES, whether in person or delivered remotely online. Sessions are hands-on, conducted at your computer, built around your specific workflows. Concepts are explained in plain language. Follow-up is built in, not offered as an afterthought. Plenty of consultants can show you what AI does. Michael is trained to make sure it actually transfers to how you and your team work every day.

Outside the Work

Curiosity also drives Michael beyond business hours. He travels, reads widely, gravitates toward science fiction, and spends time with his family and three dogs, who maintain his work-life balance whether he asks them to or not.

He believes technology should feel human, learning should feel empowering, and no business owner should feel behind just because the tools are changing faster than the explanations.
