With the EU AI Act, GDPR, Swiss Data Protection Act, and new copyright requirements, companies and public institutions must ensure that their use of AI systems is legally compliant. Organizations are now required to document AI-related risks, choose appropriate providers, and train their employees (Art. 4 EU AI Act).

Q&A
Practical questions that are answered during the course
1 Which regulations and standards are covered?
The course walks through the EU AI Act article-by-article, the EU GDPR, the Swiss FADP (DSG), and the brand-new management standard ISO/IEC 42001. You’ll get practical checklists that map every requirement to concrete actions.
2 When do the main EU AI Act obligations start to apply?
The Act entered into force on 1 August 2024. Key milestones are:
• 2 Feb 2025 – bans on “unacceptable-risk” AI + AI-literacy duty
• 2 Aug 2025 – governance rules and duties for general-purpose AI models
• 2 Aug 2026 – most other obligations become fully applicable
• 2 Aug 2027 – extended deadline for high-risk AI embedded in regulated products
3 What penalties can non-compliance trigger?
Violating the prohibition rules can cost up to € 35 million or 7 % of global annual turnover. Other breaches carry tiers of € 15 million / 3 % and € 7.5 million / 1.5 % depending on severity.
4 Which take-home materials are included?
You receive a risk-matrix template, ready-to-use AI-policy and DPIA forms, an audit checklist set and a training-evidence form – all mapped to the AI Act articles for easy internal audits.
5 Who should attend and what prior knowledge is required?
Ideal for Compliance, Legal, Risk, IT leads and product owners of AI systems. Basic data-protection familiarity is enough – we start with a concise legal primer, no law degree needed.
6 Can the content be tailored to our industry or use cases?
Absolutely. We run a 30-minute scoping call beforehand to weave your sector-specific high-risk scenarios (e.g. Med-tech vs. Banking) into the exercises and examples.
7 How is data confidentiality safeguarded during the workshop?
Hands-on tasks use synthetic or anonymised datasets only. For on-site sessions we sign an NDA; remote deliveries run on EU-based, end-to-end encrypted learning environments.
8 Do participants receive a recognised certificate?
On passing the final assessment, attendees earn the “AI Compliance Specialist” certificate. It documents the AI-literacy training required under the EU AI Act (Art. 4 §1 i) and fits neatly into ISO/IEC 42001 audit evidence.
