AI, Data & Storytelling is an upskilling journey designed to empower organizations to work differently. It develops three interconnected capabilities: AI literacy, data-informed decision-making, and impact communication.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how institutions, governments, and organizations operate. This course equips professionals with the essential understanding and practical tools needed to lead digital transformation responsibly and effectively. It provides a bridge between technical concepts and real-world policy applications, enabling decision-makers to use AI for improved governance, foresight, and institutional performance.

The course is Intended for policy-makers, decision-makers, innovators and ecosystem builders who wish to build thriving entrepreneurial communities that can navigate technological revolutions and create competitive ICT industries. The course introduces key terminologies, concepts, tools and steps to assess your country's innovation capacity through practical information. Upon completion of the course, you will understand: Innovation, digital ecosystems and digital transformation, and their relationship to national development priorities.

During this 8-hour deep dive, you will be introduced to the key techniques, services, and trends that will help you understand foundation models from the ground up. This means breaking down theory, mathematics, and abstract concepts combined with hands-on exercises to gain functional intuition for practical application. Throughout the course, we focus on a wide spectrum of progressively complex generative AI techniques, giving you a strong base to understand, design, and apply your own models for the best performance. We’ll start with recapping foundation models, understanding where they come from, how they work, how they relate to generative AI, and what you can to do customize them. You’ll then learn about picking the right foundation model to suit your use case.
