AI is everywhere. But who really understands what it does?
ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, Copilot. Names that impress, results that amaze. But behind the show, there are mechanisms. And behind the mechanisms, choices to make.
This training demystifies artificial intelligence. We understand how it works, experiment, learn to prompt, choose, and doubt. Because using AI without understanding it is giving it power. Understanding it means taking power back.
Opening the hood
Artificial neurons, layers, supervised learning. Intimidating words for accessible concepts. We compare the human brain to the machine's, understand how a signal transforms layer by layer, how the algorithm adjusts its settings like tuning an orchestra. You don't become an engineer. But you finally know what happens behind the screen.
Getting your hands dirty
We don't stay spectators. We prompt, test, observe. We play with words, adjust, compare responses. We discover biases, limits, surprises. And all on local models, in complete safety, without your data leaving the room. Experimentation without risk.
Choosing your AI
GPT, Claude, Mistral, LLaMA. Dozens of models, thousands of promises. Which to choose? For what? With what guarantees for your data? We decipher the jargon, compare strengths and weaknesses, learn to select the right tool for the need. And protect what must be protected.
Doubt, verify, decide
AI lies. Not maliciously, by design. It invents, extrapolates, confidently states false things. We learn to spot hallucinations, cross-check sources, use verification tools. A deceptively tricky "true or false" game to sharpen critical thinking.
Who is responsible?
AI isn't just a tool. It makes decisions, generates content, influences. But who's accountable? You? The publisher? The algorithm? We explore gray zones: AI-written applications, automated decisions, attributed creations. Transparency, responsibility, ethics. Questions without simple answers. But questions we must ask.
