The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence, with obligations set by how a system is used and who it affects. This 45-minute course covers why the Act exists, which systems it restricts or prohibits, the risk categories, transparency duties and how to escalate concerns.
Most AI reaches a business through individual enthusiasm rather than procurement, which means a team can move into a restricted category without anyone deciding to. Recruitment screening and employee monitoring both fall within the Act's high-risk classification. Training staff before the tools arrive keeps an organisation's AI position deliberate rather than discovered during an audit.
