Course details
The European Union (EU) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act is a first-of-its-kind global regulation for trustworthy AI. Once passed into law, the act will enforce a legal framework using a risk-based approach aimed at regulating the development, deployment, and use of AI in the European Union. Companies failing to abide by the reporting and transparency requirements defined in the act will be subject to monetary repercussions.
In this course, Tristan Ingold examines the transformative EU AI Act. He defines AI systems in the context of the EU and identifies requirements and obligations imposed by the act on AI system providers and users. He also details the various business and technical challenges and opportunities that stakeholders will have to consider. Whether you are a developer, business leaders, risk and compliance professional, or just interested in understanding the future of AI regulation, this course should help you understand how legislative developments will impact AI systems.
