AI Foundations · For Branka April 2026
A four-part briefing

AI·4·B.

A foundation for the next decade of software — made for Bazza 🧡 (by Soul 💚) built to be watched at your own pace.

Four short, self-contained modules. Roughly 15 – 20 minutes each. Use arrow keys or swipe to move through the slides. Start anywhere, but they read best in order — each one builds on the last. By the end you'll know the vocabulary, the limits, the tools, and your rights. Nothing technical required.

The four modules.

Each module is a self-contained deck. Click through. Skim. Revisit.

Module 01

Demystifying AI

Where it came from. What the words mean.

How we got here, what AI / ML / DL / GenAI actually mean, and how today's LLMs work under the hood — from training to the answer on your screen.

  • Three eras of AI · why this wave didn't crash
  • ANI, AGI, ASI · the nested family tree
  • Training vs. inference · context windows · cutoffs
  • The true cost — money, time, carbon
Open module 18 slides
Module 02

Responsible AI

The human in the loop. Why it's still you.

When AI decides on loans, hires, and diagnoses — someone still has to be accountable. The ethical foundations, the real-world failures, and the rules for sharing data safely.

  • Bias and hallucinations · where they come from
  • Six ethical principles · six guardrail layers
  • Case studies · Amazon's hiring AI, Microsoft Tay
  • The black box problem · what you can and can't paste
Open module 16 slides
Module 03

AI Tools of the Trade

How to talk to them. How to pick between them.

Prompting like a professional, a tour of the ecosystem, and four deep dives — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM — so you know exactly which tool fits which task.

  • Role · task · format · constraints · zero- vs. few-shot
  • The tool landscape · what's where in 2026
  • Data classification · consumer vs. enterprise tiers
  • Four tools up close — and a one-line tool picker
Open module 17 slides
Module 04

AI in Society

Agents. Deepfakes. Your work. Your rights.

The parts that affect you as an everyday user — not as an engineer. The agentic shift, synthetic media, how work is changing, and what the EU AI Act actually gives you.

  • Bot → Copilot → Agent · the 2025 shift
  • Deepfakes and voice clones · a five-rule playbook
  • Your job, changed · automate / amplify / stay human
  • EU AI Act · copyright · consent · your rights
Open module 19 slides

Know the words.
Respect the limits. Own the decision.

AI is not something happening to you. It's something you participate in — as a worker, a user, a voter, a consumer. Participate deliberately. And enjoy it.

Bonus · deeper cut

For the manager in the family.

A separate briefing written for people who decide — not people who code. Stat-heavy, case-study driven, and opinionated. Reads in about twenty-five minutes.

Bonus · 23 slides

Bot. Copilot. Agent.

What has changed, why it matters, and where to start — for the people who decide. Real company case studies (JPMorgan, Siemens, hospitality), the reliability math, and a three-step starting playbook.
