Nine programs of study, one mission: to make serious, honest AI education a public good. From defending your own judgment to building and governing intelligent systems, the Institute teaches the whole landscape, in your browser, at your own pace, at no cost.
Each program is a twenty week course of study: substantive lessons, weekly examinations, a capstone project, a final examination, and interactive drills where they help. Programs come online as their curriculum is published. Your progress is saved locally on your device, per program.
Most AI education is either marketing or mathematics. The Institute aims for the useful middle: plain language explanations grounded in real examples, defensive and practical framing, and a steady refusal to overclaim. You will learn what AI genuinely is, what it can and cannot do, how to work with it, how to build on it, and how to reason about its effect on people and institutions.
Every certificate says exactly what it is: a record of self paced completion, not a professional credential. Learning is the point, not the badge.
What these systems are, in language you can actually use, without the hand waving.
Practical workflows that get real value out of AI tools in everyday work.
How to design, integrate, and ship applications on top of AI models.
Safety, ethics, law, and the human impact of AI at scale.
AI literacy is becoming as fundamental as reading a chart or spotting a scam. A future where only the wealthy understand these systems is not one we want to build toward. So the Institute is free, self hostable, and MIT licensed. Take it, run it, adapt it, teach from it.
No sign up, no tracking, no paywall. Your progress is stored only on your own device in localStorage.
Static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no backend. Serve it from any folder, on any machine, offline.
Each school is one editable data file. Anyone can add a school, a track, or a lesson without touching the app.
Honest by design. The Institute confers recognition of self paced study. It is not an accredited degree granting body. Certificates and the Institute Diploma record self paced completion, nothing more. Understanding is a practice you keep, not a badge you earn once.
