AI Ethics and EU AI Act (eLearning+Classroom)

During this learning pathway, you will learn how to deploy data and AI in an ethically responsible manner and how to practically apply the EU AI Act. You will develop the knowledge and skills to proactively draft policy, assess risks, and establish communication regarding AI accountability, ensuring that AI applications are safe, transparent, and trustworthy.

The unique aspect of this programme is the combination of e-learning (8 hours) with an in-person classroom day (8 hours). This allows you to first gain the theoretical foundation, which you can then immediately apply, practise, and deepen during the classroom session. The classroom day offers interaction with an expert trainer and fellow participants, providing space for practical examples, case studies, and Q&A. This ensures the material is much better retained and can be directly translated to your own organisation.

Furthermore, you will have access to our AI Playground and the EU AI Act Buddy, an interactive AI assistant trained specifically on the EU AI Act. This agent helps you make complex legislation and compliance requirements practically applicable—for instance, when classifying and documenting AI systems.

This learning pathway is designed for a broad professional audience working with AI and the obligations of the EU AI Act. It is suitable for:

Business professionals and managers who lead or evaluate AI projectsRisk and compliance professionals responsible for laws and regulations related to AIIT and data teams that develop or manage AI systemsGovernment and non-profit organisations using AI in policy or service delivery

The programme is intended for anyone who must be AI-literate under the EU AI Act, ensuring that rules regarding safety, transparency, and ethics are correctly applied, regardless of technical background.

This course guides you in the application of the EU AI Act and the ethical use of your data and AI applications. It is ideal preparation for AI Act certification.After completing this learning pathway, you will be able to deploy AI in a responsible and future-oriented manner.
