Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence
Everything managers need to know about the EU AI Act - no legal or technical background required.
This course was developed in part with the assistance of AI tools - which feels fitting given the subject matter! All content has been reviewed, validated, and approved by the instructor. This course does not rely solely on AI-generated content and reflects the instructor's own professional knowledge and experience.
What You'll Learn
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence - and if your organization uses AI in any capacity, it affects you. As a manager, you don't need to be a lawyer or a data scientist to lead compliance. You just need the right knowledge, a practical framework, and the confidence to act.
This course gives you all three.
What This Course Covers
In plain, jargon-free language, you'll learn exactly what the EU AI Act requires, what it means for your role, and how to take action in your organization. Whether you're just hearing about the regulation for the first time or preparing your team for compliance deadlines, this course gives you a clear and practical roadmap.
You'll learn how to classify AI systems by risk level, understand your obligations as a deployer or provider, and build the internal processes needed to stay compliant - without needing to read hundreds of pages of legislation yourself.
