Description
In 2024, the European Union succeeded in adopting the first comprehensive legislation on artificial intelligence on a global scale, also known as EU Artificial Intelligence Act (or EU AI Act). The quick expansion of artificial intelligence technologies across society has been one of the primary reasons for moving AI policy from a system based on ethics and standards to a legal framework. The impact of the EU AI Act will be broad, not only because it will be the first legally binding act worldwide but also because of its approach based on risk-assessment and enforcement structure. In this course, you will become familiar with the obligations and structure coming from the EU AI Act and understand its position and role in the broader picture of European digital policy. You will learn:
- The EU AI Act’s scope and structure.
- The EU AI Act’s risk-based approach and related obligations.
- The role of the conformity assessment and fundamental rights impact assessment.
- The enforcement of the EU AI Act.
- The connection between the EU AI Act and European data protection law.
- The role of the EU AI Act in European digital policy and on a global scale.
