About the course
A premium, complete and compliance-first course on artificial intelligence, data protection and the EU AI Act for professionals in the European Union in 2026 — legal, compliance, risk, IT, product, HR, marketing and operations roles who deploy or govern AI at work. You will build a working understanding of two regulations that now shape every AI project: the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). The course covers GDPR essentials for AI (lawful basis, purpose limitation, data minimization, special-category data, Article 22 on automated decisions, DPIAs under Article 35 and data-subject rights), the AI Act risk pyramid (prohibited, high-risk, limited and minimal risk) with the exact application timeline, the obligations of providers versus deployers, general-purpose AI (GPAI) duties, transparency and AI-content labeling under Article 50, AI literacy under Article 4, the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment under Article 27, controller-processor agreements under Article 28, training data and copyright, international data transfers, security and breach handling, penalties and enforcement, and how to build internal AI governance — policies, an AI system register and risk management. It closes with a practical compliance roadmap, checklists and a comprehensive final assessment. This is an educational course, not legal advice: always consult a qualified data protection or legal professional for your specific situation.
