Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Mo Hafez!
I’m the founder and CEO of ByteWise, a lecturer at Johns Hopkins, and someone who’s spent over 17 years at the intersection of technology and education, helping people adapt to change and lead with intention.
I designed AI Foundations because I’ve seen how quickly AI is transforming the way we work, and how even the most capable professionals can feel uncertain about where to start. In this workshop, you’ll learn what AI really is, how it works, where it shows up in your daily work, and how to ask sharper, more strategic questions when it matters most.
You don’t need to become an AI expert, but you do need to understand the landscape.
That’s exactly what this workshop delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s what people usually ask before signing up.
Do I need to know how to code?
Nope. This isn’t a technical bootcamp. You’ll learn how AI works, what it can (and can’t) do, and how to use it responsibly, all without writing a single line of code.
What will I actually walk away with?
You'll leave with a ByteWise AI Foundations Certificate, hands-on experience building your own LLM, practical frameworks you can use immediately, and the confidence to lead AI conversations—whether you're in a boardroom, team meeting, or exploring new opportunities.
How is this different from other AI trainings?
We focus on clarity, ethics, and real-world application. This workshop is designed to empower you, not just inform you, with a balanced, no-hype understanding of AI. Most AI trainings are either too technical or too superficial. This workshop strikes the balance: you'll understand the real foundations of how AI works while learning practical applications grounded in ByteWise's CLEAR Framework. Plus, it's live, interactive, and designed for adults who value substance over hype.
What if I can't attend all three sessions live?
Life happens, and we've built in flexibility. All sessions are recorded with replays available for a limited time. Can't make a session? Catch up with the recording or drop into that session with our next cohort at no additional cost.
How much time will I need outside of the sessions?
Each week includes a small project to apply what you've learned, expect to spend 1-2 hours between sessions. It's designed to be manageable, even for busy professionals.
Can I get my team or organization to attend?
Yes! This workshop works beautifully for teams who want to build shared AI literacy. Reach out to [email protected] if you'd like to explore group pricing or a custom session for your organization.
