AI Literacy Fundamentals: Navigating Technology, Ethics, and the EU AI Act

Protect your organisation for Only €97

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we work, but it brings distinct responsibilities regarding data protection, ethics, and the law. Hosted by Pembroke Privacy’s Director Kate Colleary and privacy specialist Joshua Hovsha, this course delivers on our motto: to make the complex clear. We bridge the gap between technical jargon and legal compliance, equipping your team to use AI safely and effectively.

What You Will Learn

Our curriculum takes you from basic definitions to practical compliance strategies:

Demystifying the Tech: Move beyond buzzwords to understand Machine Learning and Generative AI. Learn to recognize AI's strengths in pattern recognition while identifying critical risks like "hallucinations"—confident but fabricated outputs that require careful validation.
The EU AI Act Explained: Master the world's first comprehensive AI law, which entered into force in August 2024. We break down the "risk pyramid," from prohibited practices (like social credit scoring) to high-risk obligations regarding transparency and human oversight.
Know Your Role: Are you a "Provider" building the AI, or a "Deployer" using it?. We clarify your specific legal obligations, using practical analogies—like the difference between manufacturing a car and driving one—to determine your compliance roadmap.
Operational Best Practices: Learn how to conduct due diligence on third-party tools, validate outputs against authoritative sources to prevent bias, and ensure you always keep a "human in the loop".

Knowledge of AI capabilities and limitations
Skills to make informed decisions about AI use
The capacity to protect rights in an AI-driven world
An understanding of automated decision-making
Knowledge of the EU AI Act and its requirements
The ability to recognize and respond to AI issues

Why This Matters Now

Ignorance is a organisational risk. The EU AI Act carries potential fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover for non-compliance. Beyond financial penalties, organisations must address the ethical impacts on fundamental rights, privacy (GDPR), and copyright to build trust and reputation.

Practical Takeaway

We don’t just teach the law; we teach you how to apply it. As we advise in the course: if an AI output feels too good to be true, it probably is. This training empowers your staff to question unusual results, document decisions, and manage AI risks proactively.
