EU AI Act & AI Literacy Training

Understand the requirements of the EU AI Act and build documentable AI competence for management, business units, AI users and technical teams.

Overview

This way your employees use generative AI safely and responsibly, understand risk classes and obligations, and contribute to compliant AI use.

Learning objectives

  • Fundamentals of the EU AI Act
  • Roles: providers, deployers, importers and distributors
  • Understanding risk classes and obligations
  • AI literacy under Art. 4
  • Safe use of generative AI in the company
