2026 Training Course
"AI Fundamentals to Expand Cultural Horizons"
This course offers a comprehensive and critical journey through the world of artificial intelligence. Across four units, it invites participants to understand
how language models work, what data they are trained on, why they do not always tell the truth, and what it means that their responses are probabilistic rather than neutral. It explores their technical limitations as well as their ethical and cultural dimensions: biases, stereotypes, alignment issues, and phenomena
such as algorithmic sycophancy.
🔎 In addition to the theoretical foundations, the course offers practical activities and experiences that allow participants to identify stereotypes, build data with a local perspective, and critically reflect on the educational use of these tools. The invitation is clear: do not accept AI as the final source of truth, but rather use it as a starting point to strengthen autonomy, critical thinking, and the collective construction of knowledge.
🔁 Some classes have a more technical component than others, but all include short activities to help participants progress: from multiple-choice questions to open-ended prompts and practical exercises with the EDIA tool. In each class, you will find the necessary instructions to complete them.
The proposal is for you to go through the course at your own pace, experimenting, questioning, and asking questions. We welcome you and hope this course will be an opportunity to learn, reflect, and build knowledge collectively.
You can access the virtual classroom, which remains available to access the materials and explore the contents openly.
