EU AI Act: Seminar to advance your AI expertise
The EU AI Act has been in force since August 1, 2024. Attend our training courses to develop the knowledge you need in the field of AI.
What you can expect
Companies must categorize their AI systems into different risk classes from minimal to high risk. Depending on the classification, specific requirements apply, especially when using AI in areas such as health, education and security.
Regular audits and checks are required to ensure conformity with the provisions of the AI Regulation. This includes security measures, risk analyses and compliance with ethical standards.

In a nutshell
EU AI Act: The new AI regulation comes into force
The EU AI Act is a European Union law regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which was adopted on 1. August 2024 has come into force. The AI Act is aimed at all companies, authorities and organizations that develop or use AI in the EU. The EU AI Act is intended to promote the ethical and safe use of AI technologies, strengthen trust in innovations and minimize risks at the same time. Application of the regulation is planned in several stages.
New Standards for using Artificial Intelligence under the AI Act
The regulations of the EU AI Act provide for a classification of AI systems according to their risk. A distinction is made between four risk classes:
- prohibited AI practices
- high-risk AI
- AI with a medium and specific risk
- AI with a low risk
In principle, the following applies: The higher the potential risks of a system for people, the more strictly it is regulated. Prohibited AI systems are considered unacceptable, such as social scoring or mass surveillance technologies. Although high-risk AI systems are permitted, they are subject to strict requirements as they can have a direct impact on people’s lives and rights. These systems are used, for example, in critical infrastructures, in the education sector, in personnel administration or for credit scoring.
Your new obligations as an AI provider and/or operator
Under the EU AI Act, providers and operators of large language models (LLMs) have clear obligations. Providers must ensure that AI-generated texts are clearly labeled and remain machine-readable and reliable.
Operators, also known as users or deployers, must also provide this labeling if the content is published and concerns important public topics. Labeling is not required if the content has been reviewed or editorially checked by humans.
Compulsory further training: That's why you need trained employees
The new legislation requires companies to ensure that employees working with AI systems have sufficient AI skills, knowledge and abilities. Providers and operators of AI technology must ensure that their staff are comprehensively trained by AI experts in order to be able to use AI systems safely and responsibly. This is not just about technical knowledge, but also about understanding the opportunities and risks of AI. Accordingly, the training courses must be adapted to the existing knowledge and the specific area of application of the employees.
Mandatory labeling: AI-generated content gets a label
The EU AI Act sets out clear labeling requirements for AI-generated content to ensure transparency and protect the public from misleading information. One important regulation concerns the labeling requirement for AI-generated texts. Articles that were created with the help of AI and deal with public affairs must be clearly marked as such. This measure is intended to ensure that readers know when they are dealing with machine-generated content, especially if it concerns topics of public interest.
In addition, there are strict transparency requirements for AI-generated images and videos. Visual content generated or manipulated by AI – known as deepfakes – must be clearly labeled. This is intended to prevent false or manipulated content from being perceived as genuine and thus maintain the public’s trust in digital media. The AI Act’s labelling requirements aim to minimize the misuse of AI technologies and at the same time promote the ethical use of these systems.
