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 one-hour webinar provides an overview of what constitutes lawful AI and which ethical requirements must be taken into account. It lays the foundation for two further webinars in this series, which will then take a more in-depth look at ethical and legal requirements.
At the end of the webinar, participants will know the main requirements arising from the AI Act, data protection, and copyright law when training or simply using artificial intelligence. In addition, they will learn how adhering to core ethical requirements helps to keep pace with technological developments in a responsible manner.
Target audience

This webinar is open and free of charge for all participants from academia, industry, and public administration from EU and/or EuroHPC JU member countries.
