A program for adults

Understand AI properly to work and decide better.

AI Foundations is a program of foundational AI knowledge for public officials, Youth Union members, university students and working adults. It does not teach the buttons of one tool, nor math or model fine-tuning: it teaches how AI works so you can use it properly and responsibly.

01 · Why

Between tool courses and technical courses there is a gap.

Most short AI courses today sit at one of two extremes. Learners outside technology need the layer in between: what AI is, what it can do, where its limits are and how to use it well.

Tool courses

Knowing which button to press, not why

Learning the steps of one specific app. Change the tool and you start over; meet a wrong answer and you have no way to check it.

Technical courses

Math, programming, model fine-tuning

Built for technologists. Learners from other fields lack the math and programming to follow, and do not need to go that deep.

AI Foundations

Understand the foundations, use AI responsibly

General knowledge of AI, data, law and ethics, plus how to work with AI and verify its output. Use any tool, make sound decisions.

02 · Who it is for

Four learner groups, one shared foundation.

The five core modules are shared; cases and projects change with each group's work or field of study.

Public officials and civil servants

Understand AI to lead digital transformation in your organization and use it at work within the rules.

Youth Union cadres and young members

Be the core force spreading AI literacy among young people and the community, with enough grounding to teach others.

Non-IT university students

An AI foundation for future careers in economics, law, education, health, engineering and the social sciences.

Working adults

Use AI in everyday work with understanding, verification and a clear sense of its limits.
