People who manage digital products or services

You already plan features and juggle different teams. We’ll give you the ABCs of AI so you can spot the real-world uses and say “yes” or “no” to ideas with confidence.

New developers and data folks

You write Python or SQL and build reports. We’ll show you how machine-learning works so you can build simple models yourself instead of only calling other people’s APIs.

Risk, compliance or policy teams

You keep the company on the right side of laws and standards. We’ll explain where AI can go wrong (bias, privacy, security) so you can write clear, future-proof rules.

What you'll learn

Six fast-paced modules turn AI from buzzword into toolbox. Build clear vocabulary, see key algorithms in action, and map out the roles shaping tomorrow’s job market.

Write your awesome label here.

Foundational AI Vocabulary

Key terms such as model, training, inference, and generative output are matched to plain-language examples, so students can discuss AI accurately without jargon.

Data Flow & Algorithms

Visual walkthroughs show how raw data is cleaned and transformed before feeding into models, then unpack the intuition behind staple algorithms like decision trees, clustering, and neural networks.

Hands-On Tool Demos

Guided sessions with no-code platforms and well-known APIs let students prototype vision or language features quickly while seeing what the services do behind the scenes.

Responsible & Future-Ready AI

Frameworks for fairness, privacy, and transparency pair with a forward look at AI breakthroughs, emerging roles, and strategies for staying employable in the coming wave.

Testimonials

Ksenia Lagunovskaya

I recently took the AI Prompt Engineering course at the Swiss Cyber Institute and found it useful. The mix of theory and practical exercises helped me to learn and apply new skills. The programme materials are clear, supportive, and are available during the course. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get better at working with AI.

Marcel Krättli

Insightful and informative. With the knowledge about artificial intelligence, I can now work better and understand the processes better so that I can write better prompts in the future.

Yvonne Eichenberger

If you’ve never had any touchpoints with AI, this course is for you. Even if you no longer consider yourself a beginner, you’ll appreciate the comprehensive outlook of the course. Our lecturers are a wealth of knowledge and will provide you with extensive insights and up-to-date information on what’s happening in this part of the digital universe. (Big thanks to Ayaz)
