AI Act : Mastering the European AI Regulation

Training Theme

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly embedded in professional practices, often faster than the rules governing its use. With the EU AI Act, the European Union establishes a common regulatory framework—not to hinder innovation, but to ensure safer, more transparent, and more responsible AI practices.

This course provides the essential knowledge to understand the regulation and apply it in everyday professional situations. You will explore the four risk levels, the phenomenon of Shadow AI and its hidden dangers, and three essential practices: protect, validate, and inform.

You will also discover the regulation's implementation timeline and the obligations already in force. By the end of this course, you will be able to use AI in the workplace with greater awareness, confidence, and responsibility.

Learn More About the EU AI Act

Adopted by the European Union, the EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legal framework dedicated to artificial intelligence. Often compared to the GDPR, it follows a similar principle: regulating technology to protect individuals rather than prohibiting its use. Its distinctive approach focuses on how AI is used, considering the context, data, and potential consequences.

The regulation affects not only AI developers but also organizations using AI tools in their daily operations. Shadow AI, often invisible to management, creates additional challenges for data protection and risk management.

With certain prohibitions already in effect and AI literacy obligations applying to employers, organizations must prepare for evolving compliance requirements. Proactive governance and employee awareness can strengthen trust and support responsible AI adoption.
