WHY TAKE THIS COURSE

Hands-on EU AI Act training for teams building, buying, or deploying AI

This virtual, fast-paced, hands-on session is built for product & PM teams, data/ML teams, legal/privacy/compliance, HR, CX/support operations, procurement/vendor managers, security/IT, and executives/risk owners working in iGaming and similarly data-intensive environments.

Participants learn what “counts” as an AI system, typical failure modes and harms (bias, automation bias, lack of transparency, drift, unintended secondary use), and how the EU AI Act’s risk-based architecture drives real obligations and controls.

The course is highly interactive (breakouts + practical classification exercises) so learners leave with a concrete “next steps” action list for AI literacy, governance, and compliance readiness.

This course includes:

  • AI basics: what an AI system is (and is not) under the EU AI Act
  • EU AI Act scope and roles (provider/deployer/distributor) and why accountability doesn’t “shift to the vendor”
  • Risk tiers (unacceptable/high/limited/minimal) and how classification drives duties
  • Hands-on: classify realistic iGaming-style use cases into risk categories
  • Human oversight: models (in-the-loop / on-the-loop / in-command) and what oversight is not
  • Transparency obligations: when and how to disclose AI interaction/impact
  • Data governance + documentation essentials (lightweight “model/data cards”, logging, audit readiness)
  • AI security, abuse/misuse scenarios (prompt injection, data leakage, manipulation)
  • Incident handling expectations: detect → escalate → document; roles during incidents

EU AI Act framing: risk-based regulation; correct classification is foundational—misclassification creates downstream non-compliance.
High-risk obligations (overview): risk management, data/data governance, technical documentation, logging/record-keeping, human oversight, and robustness/cybersecurity expectations.

Typical harms/failures covered: bias & discrimination, automation bias, opacity, drift/feedback loops, unintended secondary use.
Practical iGaming relevance: examples discussed include fraud prevention, automated checks (KYC/AML), algorithmic scoring, and other AI-enabled operations where accuracy/fairness/explainability matter.

Governance roadmap (best practice): training & awareness, AI governance team, AI policy/framework, inventory & risk classification, compliance measures, continuous monitoring/reporting, audit readiness.

Operational “golden rules” takeaway: safe tool usage, no sensitive/confidential uploads, verify outputs, IP/copyright awareness, avoid bias in decisions, no secrets in prompts, resist prompt-injection, document material use, report incidents quickly.
Estimated duration: 2.5–3 hours (interactive virtual format).
