The EU is now calling for AI training! Are you prepared?

When the current stage of the EU “AI Act” comes into force, all companies that develop, operate or use artificial intelligence must ensure that their employees have the necessary AI skills. This includes technical understanding, legal and ethical principles and an awareness of risks. The responsibility lies with the employer - regardless of the size of the company. The obligation already applies to the use of AI-supported language models, translation tools or design software.

The EU law requires employers to train their employees, otherwise they face penalties of up to 7% of annual turnover or a maximum of 35 million euros. Only 20% of companies have already established comprehensive training measures for their teams. The EU does not impose strict requirements on the form of training - but it does expect training to take place and to be verifiable.

IVAM offers a 4-hour online compact training course with certificate

Therefore IVAM is organizing a practical 4-hour online compact training course. This training provides the relevant content to meet the legal requirements and prepare your company for the new regulations. At the end of the training, all participants undergo a knowledge assessment and receive a certificate as proof.

The training is led by lawyer Dr. Sebastian Tegethoff , Senior Partner at Fortmann Tegethoff Patent- & Rechtsanwälte, expert in IP portfolios and legal AI aspects, and Prof. Dr. Uwe Kleinkes, Professor of Technology Marketing at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, specialist in AI and competitiveness in SMEs.

The course content includes an introduction to the EU AI Act and its significance for businesses, as well as the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, including its functionality and application areas. Legal and ethical aspects such as data protection, liability, and copyright will also be covered. Another key focus is understanding roles within the AI Act, particularly distinguishing between providers, users, and operators. Strategies for risk minimization and compliance will be discussed, along with effective prompt engineering based on practical case studies. The program is rounded off with interactive discussions and networking opportunities with other participants.

To ensure a high level of interactivity and the opportunity to ask individual questions, the number of participants is limited to 25. It's still possible to register.
