Curriculum
Module 1 Understanding the Phenomenon of Artificial Intelligence
This module introduces the universe of artificial intelligence, from the earliest ideas of Turing to today's most advanced models. It reviews AI's conceptual foundations, internal structure, and historical evolution so participants can understand it as a technical and cultural force shaping society and develop a critical, well-grounded view of its present and future role.
Module 2 Exploring Key Areas Within Artificial Intelligence
This module moves from general understanding to concrete applications, examining machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, content generation, recommendation systems, and other key areas. Participants learn how these fields work, what problems they solve, and how to identify realistic and ethical use cases.
Module 3 Applying Artificial Intelligence in Different Fields
This module takes knowledge into practice by exploring how AI is integrated into education, healthcare, industry, security, law, culture, and other fields. Through case studies and implementation examples, participants examine the challenges of moving AI from theory into real environments with a critical, strategic, and socially responsible perspective.
Module 4 Political Strategy, Positioning, and Candidate Brand Building
This module focuses on the strategic analysis of the candidate as the central axis of a political campaign, addressing trajectory, identity, behavior, and management capacity as fundamental elements of electoral positioning. It examines how personal and professional background influences the construction of credibility, trust, and leadership among citizens. The module explores the definition of the political product by integrating values, emotions, and the programmatic proposal, as well as political personality, authenticity, and communication coherence. Positioning strategies, differentiation from opponents, data- and AI-supported analysis tools, and real cases involving political narratives, images, and brands are also addressed.
Module 5 Political Communication, Discourse, Media, and Public Opinion Management
This module addresses political communication as a strategic system designed to influence public opinion and maintain message coherence throughout a campaign. It examines the design of political discourse, its structure, emotional content, and adaptation to different audiences, along with the relationship between candidates and the media, including regulatory frameworks, freedom of expression, and information pluralism. The module also studies the impact of artificial intelligence on content distribution, message automation, and communication segmentation, as well as disinformation, fake news, reputational crisis management, media plans, and data-driven multichannel strategies, integrating ethics, responsibility, and transparency.
