Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the workplace — making tasks quicker, boosting productivity, and helping businesses make smarter decisions. From automating admin to analysing data at scale, AI offers huge benefits across every industry. But with great power comes great responsibility. This short, accessible course explains what you need to know to stay compliant and confident when using AI at work. Learners will explore the legal obligations that apply to both developers and users of AI systems, gaining clarity on who is responsible for what. They’ll also learn about the core data protection principles outlined in the UK GDPR and the specific rights individuals have when their data is used by AI technologies. The course introduces the EU’s risk-based approach to AI regulation, explaining how different levels of risk — from minimal to high — affect how AI systems must be managed. Finally, learners will be guided through best practices for using AI ethically and transparently, with practical examples that show how these standards apply in real-world situations.
