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.
- 1Fundamentals 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.

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.

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.
