Resumen

Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday business. Companies use AI for marketing, hiring, customer service, operations, analytics, productivity, content creation, decision support, and third-party software tools. But as AI adoption grows, businesses also need clearer governance, stronger risk control, better documentation, transparency, privacy awareness, and accountability.

The EU AI Act and AI Governance for Business course helps professionals understand how the EU AI Act affects organizations using AI in Spain and the European Union. It explains how to identify AI systems, classify AI risks, understand legal obligations, build governance structures, manage data and privacy issues, and reduce third-party AI risks.

The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive legal framework for AI worldwide and sets risk-based rules for AI developers and deployers. It entered into force on 1 August 2024, with phased application dates for prohibited AI practices, AI literacy, governance rules, GPAI obligations, transparency rules, and high-risk AI systems. (Digital Strategy)

This course is designed for business leaders, compliance teams, legal professionals, risk managers, IT teams, data protection professionals, HR teams, marketing teams, operations teams, consultants, and SMEs that use or plan to use AI tools in a professional environment.

Across 11 hours of structured online learning, learners will explore the EU AI Act, Spain’s AI landscape, AI system identification, risk classification, legal obligations, transparency rules, prohibited AI practices, governance frameworks, GDPR alignment, cybersecurity, and third-party AI risk management.

The course gives learners a clear, business-focused foundation for using AI more responsibly, safely, and in line with growing EU regulatory expectations.
