Get Ready to Comply with the New Regulations on Data & Artificial Intelligence

This course will be given by Gloria Gonzalez Fuster, Gregory Lewkowicz and David Restrepo Amariles at the FARI Test & Experience Center (Cantersteen 16, 1000, Brussels).

This program is structured into four distinct modules and provides a comprehensive exploration of Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape related to data and artificial intelligence. It encompasses a range of frameworks, operational tools, and best practices crucial for ensuring compliance. Designed for professionals in both the public and private sectors, the course aims to guide participants in complying with relevant European regulations, while also enabling them to capitalize on the new opportunities emerging from the European regulatory framework.

The modules are structured to create a cohesive and comprehensive program. However, participants have the flexibility to choose individual modules ‘à la carte’ according to their interests or needs. It’s important to note that we strongly recommend completing Module 3 before proceeding to Module 4. This sequence ensures a more effective learning experience, as the content of Module 3 lays the foundational knowledge necessary for understanding Module 4.

This program is tailored for professionals across various fields. However, it does not delve deeply into the unique aspects of specific sectors such as banking and finance, health, work & employment, critical infrastructures, enforcement, justice, machinery, etc. If you are interested in a customized program that specifically addresses the needs and nuances of your organization or company, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are more than willing to collaborate with you to develop a program that aligns perfectly with your sector’s specific requirements and challenges.
