AI training Los Angeles companies can book: hands-on, on your team's own work.
I'm Yiannis Papastergiou, an independent AI consultant based in Thessaloniki, Greece, working with companies of roughly €1M+ revenue. I run hands-on AI training for Los Angeles teams, built on your own documents. The work is remote from Greece: I have no office or team in Los Angeles.

What does AI training Los Angeles teams get from me?
AI training for a Los Angeles company with me is hands-on, role-based teaching delivered live online from Greece, built on your own documents instead of generic examples. Each team leaves with prompts, one checked workflow and a written rule on what never goes into an unapproved tool. HR and managers also learn where California's automated-decision rules apply.
The short answer
About one in five US businesses uses AI. Why train your Los Angeles team now?
The Census Bureau reported that 19.8% of US businesses used AI as of May 3, 2026. Larger firms lead: 37% of firms with 250 or more employees and 32% of those with 100 to 249. Resume Now's analysis of the same Census survey, reported by CPA Practice Advisor in October 2026, put California at 20.8% for the first half of 2026.
Those numbers count use, not skill. LA County's economy exceeds $1 trillion and grew 2.4% in 2025, according to the LA County Economic Development Corporation, with entertainment, aerospace, bioscience and trade among its major sectors. In most of those, the valuable asset is something you cannot paste into a free tool: an unreleased script, a flight-test report, trial data, a customs file.
A free tool is easy to find. A rule about what never goes into it is not.
A coordinator pastes an unreleased draft into a public chatbot to tighten the summary.
A manager lets AI rank applicants and signs off without knowing why it ranked them that way.
Training gives each role one agreed way of working, on its own documents.
The problem
What should corporate AI training in Los Angeles cover, team by team?
I train by role, on each team's real material. These are workflows, not clients: I have published no Los Angeles results.
Summarizing notes, drafting treatments and preparing pitch material. Unreleased material, talent likenesses and anything under NDA stay out of unapproved tools.
Production, media and creative teams
Turning shipment emails and exception reports into structured summaries. Every number is checked against the source system before it is sent.
Operations, trade and logistics
Summarizing long specifications and test reports. Drawings, controlled technical data and customer files never go into unapproved tools.
Engineering and technical teams
Literature summaries and protocol drafts, with a named scientist checking every claim against the original.
Bioscience and research teams
Drafting job descriptions and policy updates, and understanding what an AI-assisted decision about a person requires: a human who can explain and corroborate it.
HR and people managers
What AI can and cannot do in your business, and how to ask your team for results in numbers rather than excitement.
Executives
None of these needs new software.
Team by team
Which California and EU rules should an AI training program for Los Angeles staff cover?
California has no single AI law for employers, so training has to cover several. The Civil Rights Council's automated-decision system (ADS) regulations, described by Covington & Burling in October 2025, apply to employers with five or more California employees. They make discriminatory ADS use unlawful even without intent and require ADS-related records to be kept for four years.
Newer laws are coming. Morgan Lewis reported on October 9, 2026 that SB 947 takes effect July 1, 2027: an employer may not rely solely on an ADS for discipline or termination, and a human must corroborate the output. SB 951 and AB 1883 take effect January 1, 2027. Morgan Lewis describes no training requirement, but training is how managers learn to do the corroboration. I am not a lawyer, so treat this as a map of what to ask yours.
The EU AI Act can reach a US company too. Article 2 covers providers and deployers in a third country where the system's output is used in the EU. Article 4's AI literacy duty now means taking measures to support a sufficient level of literacy among staff (White & Case, on the AI Omnibus in force since July 27, 2026). Role-based sessions with a written playbook leave a record of who was trained, on what, and when.

Four ways Los Angeles companies usually train people on AI.
Your options
How does remote AI training work for a Los Angeles team?
I work from Thessaloniki, Greece, about ten hours ahead of Los Angeles for most of the year, so a 9am Pacific session starts at 7pm for me. I plan live sessions in your Pacific morning and agree dates in writing.
Every program has four parts: a short survey of how your people already use AI, hands-on sessions on real work, written playbooks for each function, and a follow-up 30 days later.
How it works
Who would train my team?
You deal with one person: the senior consultant who designs the sessions and runs them.
As Product Owner at Natech I led its anti-money-laundering software from desktop to a modern web platform. It is now the company's market spearhead.
Regulated fintech
At Companies House, the UK's official business registry, I worked on the systems behind millions of searches and filings every year. At KLA I built and hardened production software for the modules that control chip fabrication.
Things that must not break
My father ran a butcher shop for forty years. At fifteen I was behind that counter. I think in margins and time, not in technology for its own sake.

Questions Los Angeles companies ask about AI training
Paid work starts at Plan, from €1,500, where I look inside your business. The training itself is scoped per program and agreed in writing before it starts: who it is for, how many sessions and how long. I give no figure in advance, because the length depends on the teams in the room.
What is the investment for AI training in Los Angeles?
No. I am based in Thessaloniki, Greece, and all work for Los Angeles companies is remote from Greece. I do not have a Los Angeles office, a local team or published Los Angeles results. What you get is one senior consultant, live online, on your own documents.
Do you have an office or clients in Los Angeles?
Greece is about ten hours ahead of Los Angeles for most of the year. I plan live sessions in your Pacific morning and agree the dates in writing. Playbooks and surveys work asynchronously, so not everything needs a live slot.
How do you handle the time difference?
I am not aware of a California requirement to train staff on AI as such, and the Morgan Lewis summary of the 2026 laws describes none. But SB 947, from July 1, 2027, expects a human to corroborate automated decisions about discipline or termination, and trained managers are how you do that. Ask your employment lawyer about your own position.
Does California law require us to train staff on AI?
Treat unreleased creative material, client files, technical data and study data as confidential. Pasting them into a free personal account is the situation to avoid. The playbook I write names what never goes into an unapproved tool, and the sessions set up an approved route so people have a safe alternative instead of a ban.
Can staff paste unreleased scripts or client files into ChatGPT?
It can. Article 2 covers providers and deployers outside the EU where the AI system's output is used in the Union. A company with European customers or users should check its position. The Article 4 AI literacy duty now means taking measures to support staff literacy. I am not a lawyer, so confirm with one.
Does the EU AI Act apply to a Los Angeles company?
No. Executives, HR and managers, and the teams that handle your core documents need different sessions. A short awareness session can cover everyone else. I scope by role, so you do not train 200 people for something 20 will use.
Do all our people need the same training?
Training teaches people how to work with AI. AI Governance & EU AI Act Compliance writes the policies and registers behind it. The training playbook says what never goes into an unapproved tool, and the governance work turns that into company policy. Many companies need both, in that order.
