Why is the EU AI Act important?
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legislation regulating AI based on risk. It has a direct impact on how organisations may develop, deploy and manage AI. Anyone working with or planning to work with AI today needs to know these rules to avoid fines, reputational and legal risks, as well as to continue to innovate responsibly.
Context and design of the EU AI Act
The webinar explains why the AI Act came into being, the societal risks behind it and how European values such as human rights, transparency and equality have been translated into concrete legal obligations.
Risk categories and obligations
You will get a clear overview of the four levels of risk (minimal, transparency, high risk and unacceptable risk), what they mean in practice and the corresponding obligations for organisations and development teams.
Privacy, data and personal data
An important section deals with the tension between AI innovation and data protection. It discusses GDPR, data minimisation, anonymisation, DPIAs and how to apply privacy by design in AI systems.
Transparency, explainability and human oversight
The webinar covers how to deal with explainability, human oversight, liability and accountability in complex AI models, including common pitfalls.
Case study and risks in the public sector
Using an actual government case study, we show how the AI Act is applied in practice, including a methodology for risk analysis and governance that organisations can use right away.
