About Dave
Professor. Strategist. Speaker.
Dave Ghidiu is an Assistant Professor of Computing Sciences at Finger Lakes Community College and Lead AI Strategist for the FLX AI Hub - a regional initiative bringing practical AI education to schools, businesses, and communities across Upstate New York.
With a Master's in Educational Technology and over two decades of experience in education, Dave has a rare ability to make complex technology feel approachable and immediately useful. His workshops and talks blend hands-on practice with real-world strategy - no jargon, no hype.
He leads FLCC's AI Microcredential program, co-hosts The Immersive Lens podcast on emerging technology, and has spoken at more than two dozen venues across higher education, K-12, healthcare, and industry.
Dave's philosophy is simple: he can teach you how AI works and put the right tools in your hands - but only you can bring your rich experience, unique perspective, and niche expertise to the table. That combination is where the real magic happens. It's a personal journey, and Dave meets people exactly where they are.
