Overview

 

Rachel, David and Sara from leading ethical AI company Trilateral Research will provide attendees with an overview of the forthcoming EU AI Act.

 

This session will cover the ambition, purpose, and scope of the Act, and some of its potential impacts. That course will educate learners on the key compliance elements of the proposed AI Act. It will provide a basic introduction to AI, including understanding how to recognise AI, what tools are in scope of the Regulation and basic ethical principles relevant to the responsible use of AI in an organisation. It will provide learners with important information on identifying the appropriate risk level of an AI system as well as practical guidance on meeting the requirements of the legislation, especially in relation to high-risk systems.

 

Finally, the course will identify where existing regulatory requirements can be built upon to support compliance requirements and where new frameworks need to be developed in reference to brand new requirements like Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments.

 

At the end of this course, learners will have the baseline knowledge and building blocks to build readiness for the AI Act within their organisation, and support the responsible development and deployment of AI across Ireland and beyond.
