AI is suddenly showing up everywhere: at work, in the news, in productivity tools, and in everyday conversations. A lot of people have tried tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini by now, but still do not really understand what is happening under the hood.
That is understandable. AI can feel almost magical one minute, and frustratingly unreliable the next.
That is why I am excited to announce a new course from Sundog Education:
AI Foundations – The Fundamentals: Understanding Modern AI
I co-instructed this course with Károly Nyisztor. The goal is simple: explain modern AI in a way that is clear, practical, and useful, without assuming you are a programmer or AI engineer.
This is not a course about building AI systems. It is a course about understanding them.
What the Course Covers
In this course, you will learn:
- What “AI” really means in practical terms
- How tools like ChatGPT and Claude work at a high level
- What large language models, tokens, parameters, context windows, and temperature actually mean
- Why AI can sound smart while still being confidently wrong
- How to separate real AI capabilities from hype and marketing
- Where AI is useful, and where you should be careful
- How to use AI for writing, research, learning, planning, brainstorming, and productivity
- How to choose between tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, and others
No coding experience is required. No machine learning background is assumed.
If you have used ChatGPT a few times but still feel like the basic concepts are murky, this course is for you. It is also a good course to share with colleagues, managers, friends, or family members who want to understand AI without becoming engineers.
About Károly
Your main instructor is Károly Nyisztor, a software engineer, instructor, and author with over 30 years of experience. He has taught more than 400,000 students worldwide, holds 12 patents in software architecture and mobile computing, and has worked with companies including Siemens, SAP, and Apple.

AI is not going away, and understanding the basics is quickly becoming an important skill for just about everyone. This course is a practical way to build that foundation without getting buried in jargon.
I hope to see you there!
