Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be human-centered and trustworthy. This concept is based on three specific requirements: AI must be lawful, ethical, and robust.
This course builds on the webinar Grundlagen von Trustworthy AI and provides in-depth insights into the legal requirements that must be met when developing and using AI. In a one-hour online seminar, knowledge about requirements arising from the AI Act, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and copyright law is imparted.
At the end of the webinar, participants will know which risk classes the AI Act recognizes and what requirements arise from them. Furthermore, a solid understanding of data protection challenges will be conveyed and the tasks that organizations must perform in order to use AI in a data protection compliant manner will be discussed. Finally, an overview of copyright law will be provided in order to convey sensitivity to the use of works for training AI and awareness of the use of generative AI results.
