Description
Artificial Intelligence is transforming every sector - from healthcare and finance to education, policing, and the workplace. But with innovation comes responsibility, and in Europe, this responsibility is being shaped by the world's first comprehensive AI law: the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act).This course provides a complete roadmap to understanding and applying the AI Act in practice. Learners will be guided step by step through its foundations, including why the EU created the Act, how AI is defined, and the principles of risk-based regulation. The four risk categories - prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk, and minimal-risk - are explained with real-world examples, making the rules accessible and practical.Special attention is given to high-risk AI systems, such as medical AI, recruitment tools, and border-control technologies, where strict obligations apply. You will also discover the lighter, but still essential, transparency rules for limited-risk AI like chatbots and deepfakes. The course then explores governance and enforcement, introducing the EU AI Office, national authorities, and the penalties for non-compliance.Finally, you will gain practical compliance strategies: how to map AI systems, classify risks, prepare documentation, and align with related EU laws like GDPR, CSRD, and CSDDD.By the end of the course, you will not only understand the legal requirements but also know how to turn compliance into an opportunity for trust, leadership, and market advantage.
