## Description

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for regulating artificial intelligence. It introduces a risk-based approach that places different obligations on organisations depending on how AI systems are used and the potential impact they may have on individuals' rights, safety and opportunities. This course explains the different categories of AI risk, the importance of transparency and human oversight, and the practical steps employees must take to support compliant and responsible AI use.
