This Giving Tuesday, Alchera X (AX) is highlighting its ongoing commitment to AI education and workforce development. The company has actively engaged students, educators, and academic institutions nationwide through lectures, mentorship, and hands-on learning initiatives, reinforcing its mission to democratize access to AI knowledge.
Over the past year, AX President & CEO Michael Plaksin has taken center stage in these efforts, sharing expertise at leading universities and inspiring the next generation of AI innovators.
Bringing AI to the Classroom
Most recently, Plaksin was a guest lecturer at the University of Dallas for its undergraduate Lecture Series. His talk, “The Future of AI: Harnessing Intelligence for Real-World Impact,” explored how computer vision, facial recognition, and predictive analytics are reshaping industries from public safety to retail to healthcare, giving students a practical view of AI’s transformative potential.
Mentorship Through Competition
Plaksin also served on the Judge’s Panel at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management MBA Case Competition, evaluating student business strategies and performance models. Drawing on AX’s experience in AI-driven SaaS solutions, he provided guidance on executive thinking and responsible AI application in business, helping students bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world implementation.
Through these initiatives, Alchera X continues to foster AI literacy, empower future innovators, and demonstrate how industry leaders can actively contribute to education and workforce readiness in emerging technologies.
