The curriculum

Six modules, from fundamentals to deployment

Sovereign AI Foundations is a free, six-module course covering the fundamentals of AI and generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, responsible AI, and the security, sovereignty and EU-AI-Act compliance every SME now has to reason about. Each module ends with a short quiz.

  1. 1
    Fundamentals of AI & ML

    AI & ML foundations

    What AI, machine learning, deep learning and large language models actually are — in plain language, with no maths. The mental model every decision-maker needs before adopting AI.

  2. 2
    Fundamentals of Generative AI

    Generative AI

    Tokens, prompts, embeddings, temperature and hallucination — the working vocabulary of generative AI, and the failure mode (confident wrong answers) that governance exists to contain.

  3. 3
    Applications of Foundation Models

    RAG & grounding

    How RAG lets an AI answer from your own documents — with citations — instead of guessing. Why grounding beats fine-tuning for keeping facts current, and what a "knowledge base" really is.

  4. 4
    Guidelines for Responsible AI

    Responsible AI

    Bias, transparency, explainability and human oversight — the principles of responsible AI, and how an escalation-and-correction loop turns "humans in the loop" from a slogan into a mechanism.

  5. 5
    Security, Compliance & Governance

    Security & compliance

    Data sovereignty, residency, audit trails and the risk-based EU AI Act — what changes for SMEs in 2026, and why where your model and knowledge live is now a compliance decision, not just an IT one.

  6. 6
    Applied · Capstone

    Deploying AI

    Build vs. buy, the three deployment shapes, the internal-vs-public knowledge boundary, and why — for a non-technical owner — the easiest interface to adopt AI is a trusted person, not a dashboard.
