Dr Dianna Hardy

When Dr Dianna started running AI workshops in regional Queensland, the same questions kept coming up:

  • Where can I learn more about AI?

  • Which AI tools actually work?

  • Can you show me how to use it in my business?

Most people were looking for hands-on help to solve real problems and build skills they could use straight away.

Dianna created Deep Data Academy to answer these questions and more.

With 30+ years in tech and a background that includes Motorola, JP Morgan Chase, and the U.S. Department of Defense, she now helps teams use AI to automate admin, improve internal processes, and save time on repetitive tasks.

Dianna’s worked with manufacturers, councils, and educators — and spent over 15 years teaching AI, UX, and design thinking at James Cook University, where she won a national teaching award. Her training sessions are engaging, practical, and always focused on helping people use AI tools with confidence and safety.
